Well, as unpopular as this may sound, I can’t find where the Civil Rights Act (the basis of anti-discrimination laws)is constitutional (at least not as interpreted to enforce these laws).

IOW, if a business owner wanted to refuse service to an ethnic group, constitutionally that should be his prerogative. Now this person may become a pariah in his community, and he should expect no state assistance in enforcing his discrimination...but if its not state sponsored discrimination, I don’t understand what business the state has in it.

To me its like a kindergarten teacher telling Billie he has to play with Suzy, even though he doesn’t like her....and really that silly. The government can’t legislate us all into getting along with each other.

And the slippery slope with these types of rulings is huge. I could see muslim prayer rooms being required at restaurants, as an example.

there were several acts that were created to protect people of ethnicities- and rightfully so I believe because a person should not be discriminated against because of their ethnicity- This protects white folks as well as other races as well as it is now illegal for a Mexican business to deny service to white folks- etc- it protects all ethnicities- A genetic trait should not be a cause for discrimination as we are all one (in terms of ethnic equality) under one God
