How can a physical test be discriminating if it's necessary for the job?

If you are not able to make one pull up, don't go fucking climbing.

No need to make it a racial problem. It's a sex thing. Or gender. Whatever is political correct.

Yeah this.

There shouldn't be a sliding scale. If the physical requirement of the job is necessary for you to perform the function of said job, then you need to be able to do it to qualify.

End of story, it shouldn't even be a discussion.
