You draw the line where you decide to do business, who you do business with. If some idiot owns a restaurant and says I won't serve _____ people, that's something we both find offensive and it's up to us as private citizens to not support that establishment. Over time that establishment will either change or go out of business. It's not the governments role to make sure everyone is treated the same. If that is governments role then the question really becomes where do you draw the line? Why can't I shop at walmart as a nudistisn't that discrimination? Why do I always have to take off my hat and sunglasses is that discriminatory against someone sensitive to their hair or lack thereof? What about someone with sensitive eyes and the light physically hurts them? Why can't I demand service regardless of my financial ability to pay isn't that unfair to the poor and disadvantage?


The problem is we've shifted our personal responsibility onto government.

The line being drawn works both ways, but government as it stands absolutely has a say in what you can do with a business. Your idea of civilization is also dangerous. I believe in your world we would not be as far along as we are in creating a better society. We would probably have segregation in schools, even bigger racial tensions then we currently have and a more violent divide. Humans are a product of their environment and the environment would be much different in your world. There is a lot of tension right now, but we have still come a long way since say 1900. I think we as a society morally would be way farther behind in your ideal world.
