I'm confused... what about all of the signs that businesses post up that say "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason". Couldn't the Jewish owner post a similar sign, and simply refuse service to the guy while pointing at it?
Should he have the right to post up that sign? That is the question and premise of this thread.
Got it. So right now, it is perfectly legal (in the US) for a Jewish restaurant owner to refuse service to a skinhead. But the question is, is that legal right ethically right.
I say, yes. It should absolutely be a person's choice to provide service only to those who they wish to provide service to, for whatever reason they like. If someone want to refuse service to me because I have blue eyes, then I'll laugh at them, find a different place to do business with, and badmouth that first business as much as possible. The free market can take care of unfair discriminators rather quickly and efficiently.
