I suspect most of us could probably get behind the groups listed in the
antidiscrimination section of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights at
least as a compromise.
Quoting the English version:
"Any discrimination based on any ground such as sex, race, colour, ethnic
or social origin, genetic features, language, religion or belief, political
or any other opinion, membership of a national minority, property, birth,
disability, age or sexual orientation shall be prohibited."
The inclusion of "political or any other opinion" is a nice addition and
prevents a lot of concern.
