Reprehensible...but, IMO, assuming that this discrimination represented the will of a private homeowners association...everyone should have the right to associate or not associate with whomever they like...on whatever basis they like

You are free to hold that personal opinion, but be assured that it is at wide variance with the laws these days.
Private clubs, associations which exclude people based on race and religion are clearly illegal.
That would include "homeowners associations." HOAs in turn hire Property Management companies. These companies know well about illegal discrimination, in real estate activities.
Well, we've talked about this. We came to pass the nondiscrimination laws. The actions of the association were illegal.
You also confuse association with commercial activity. You can associate with whomever you want in business life. But when you open a store for business --- that is not "association" but commerce.
I don't want my country to discriminate against anybody in business and public life. Do you?
