What was the answer?

Is it unconstitutional for a restaurant owner to throw out a bum?

Not. Even. Close.

Discriminating means drawing distinctions. Prejudice means assuming distinctions where no valid ones exist. I can discriminate between Charles Manson and Mother Teresa. No law prevents it and the most elemental common sense argues in favor.

That was public transportation enforcing a racist tradition. This is a private business rejecting a judicial travesty.
