Ok so what if the business owner said you have to be white in order to come into the restaurant? Are you okay with that?


This shirt/shoes and dress code is an entirely different argument then declining to serve people simply because of their sexual orientation.

 

Honestly, I think if the restaurant owner can deal with the negative publicity that refusing people based on color would bring, then more power to him.  I wouldn't do it.  Simply from a business standpoint, you would get slaughtered by news people and word of mouth.  

 

I rely on a lot of referrals for my business, but the office I run now is based on a certain type of customer that fits into the mold of what my office is looking for.  I actively search out those types of customers and try to not bring in the ones that don't fit with me.  That's discrimination.  Should I be punished for it?  There are certain criteria that I will look for and if some people don't fit that, I know I won't be able to get their business because they'll be able to find better offers elsewhere.  Sometimes that means not looking for customers from a certain country.  Sometimes it means not looking in a certain area of town because of the typical family income of the area.  Sometimes it means not looking for people who don't speak english.  

 

In your mind, should I be punished for not actively searching out these customers?  Because what I just described is a form of discrimination.
