As an extremely white, blond haired blue eyes, young man in the 60s 70s walking the streets of NYC as a lark, then having to use the facility, and be turned away because I didn’t buy anything yet.

They must have thought you were an albino black ;) :)
This happened to my 8 month pregnant best friend in Charleston, SC back in the mid 90’s. We were heading to a restaurant and stopped along the way to shop at a boutique. She got the sudden urge to go and begged the lady to let her use the bathroom which was for patrons only. The lady didn’t let her use it - despite seeing the situation an 8 month pregnant young woman was in- and we left.
It wasn’t because we were white, it was because we didn’t buy anything - which was clearly stated on the front door on a ‘no public restrooms’ sign.
That being said, it is fun to see the left eat their own. Especially the refugee-loving, jacked up, nasty Fivebucks.
I don’t take racial discrimination claims seriously any more. I haven’t for a long time. I’ve seen a lot more than just those two cases in my life. It is repugnant. This guy was almost certainly turned away not because of his race, but because of other factors like, for example, not being a customer.
I’m a white guy. I don’t try to use the restroom in a downtown location with a locked bathroom without purchasing something. There is a reason it’s locked.
