Would it be legal to sign away your rights to a corporation?

If rights are not inalienable they are not rights.

Or others are infringing upon them.

No you cannot sign your rights away.

"protected class" is doesn't even belong in a discussion about rights.

Can you agree to abrogate your own rights by agreeing to a contract, yes. Can you be forced to, no.

If the terms and conditions of a contract are not acceptable, then either try to negotiate better terms or simply do not sign. If it is for employment you can always seek a job elsewhere.

"Before I can hire you, you must sign this contract agreeing that you will not drive a blue car nor get married." But then what if it was more like "...contract agreeing you will not vote for a republican nor speak about politics outside of your home and then only to family members."
I'm not sure the first case would be acceptable and it doesn't involve constitutionally-protected rights as does the second case.
