Not only are you in favor of excluding an entire demographic from a privilege granted by labor laws solely based on their chosen fields, but you're also in favor that this demographic shouldn't even exist in the USA? Your opinion is more than elitist, it is downright un American.

According to one definition of most dictionaries, your opinion is elitist.

The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources.
