It's a ridiculous quote, especially in this context. She's using it to mean "it's all subjective so therefore i am right". It's useless. Ask her if she applies this to every facet of life, does she act based on any beliefs whatsoever? What about her belief in the truth of the quote?

In this case, it's probably best to judge on an individual basis and not let the tag of Christian or Atheist bother you enough. Regardless of who you date, you should be thoroughly evaluating this person's potential to be a life partner. It would not take you too long to see if a potential mate is good enough for you, so deciding to be wholly opposed to dating one of these groups would be both arbitrary and would sever a few good possible partners from your pool.

If a group of people is committing disproportionate amounts of crime, is it legitimate to target that group disproportionally? Let's grant the assumptions that investigating people who have not committed a crime will not increase their propensity to commit crime, and that capturing someone who is breaking the law will lower the crime rate in the long run. If it's not legitimate to disproportionately target groups that commit a disproportionate amount of crime (or, as I would say, to target people proportionately to their propensity to commit crime as a group), then we should target every demographic equally, regardless of whether or not it's even possible that they can commit a crime. That is, we should target rocks as often as we target people who we (somehow) know for a certain fact will commit a crime in an hour (provided that this is not a crime itself). Obviously, more factors should be taken into account than just race, and I think it would improve the entire situation to put more research into finding a wider variety of crime-prone groups.

I don't see any difference between this form of attempt to reduce the cost of labour and a more explicit attempt in the form of decreasing wages. Wages cannot be legally decreased past a certain level, so lowering the cost of labour must instead come into place through acts similar to this. A company that pushes this boundary too hard will eventually garner a negative reputation and people will have a higher reservation wage for working there in order to compensate for the gradual encroachment of the company upon the benefits of the workers. The issue is this and the finality of the decisions of arbitrators.
