But so what? Discrimination has become a bad word and it shouldn't be. Everyone discriminates every day. Every time you make a decisions you discriminate because you choose one thing over another. The thing not chosen has been discriminated against. That's how decision making works. Without discrimination there are no decisions. The question is whether the discrimination is justified or not and whether the one discriminating has the right to make that decision. I submit that all private business owners have the right to discriminate in any way they choose whether in hiring, firing or in who they choose to do business with. If their decisions are bad they will suffer economically. It's called the free market and there has never been a better anti-discrimination engine in the history of the world! But in this case I think the discrimination is both justified and the owner has the right to do it. The thing is, it IS discriminatory. But so what?
