Discrimination covers political opinions so this IS discrimination. And it's childish

@lucky11 Read my edited comment above.
Should it be okay to turn someone away from your business due to things outside their control, like skin color or nation of birth?
Your political or religious beliefs/behaviors are completely your own choice, but some characteristics are not.

I don’t support this either, but political opinion is more of a choice than the other things listed.

@silvermyth How is it substantially different from religious beliefs in the context of discrimination?

Discrimination is a natural process that everyone does. We all discriminate every day. Now the morality of the each act of discrimination is different. When you choose to eat one thing instead of something else you are discriminating. Deciding you won't wear a certain color because you don't like it, is discriminating. Now there are certain discriminations we as a society have deemed morally wrong i.e. not serving someone because of their skin color. The thing with any free market (you can substitute Capitalism if you like) is that in it's purest form there is zero discrimination. The shop keepers goal is to make money by selling their goods and it doesn't matter who buys as long as the goods sell. When someone chooses to impose a form a discrimination on who they'll sell too they are in fact just limiting their customer base. Some of the limits are imposed for practical reasons. A shop could accept any form of currency for their goods but do to the difficulty of exchanging it most

will only accept the currency of the country in which they operate. Some limit themselves by only stocking certain items, like female clothes, and only in certain sizes. These type of limits impose what we could call for the sake of this reply natural discriminations. Natural discriminations would be when the goods themselves only appeal to certain people but not everyone. When a shop or business starts imposing limits based outside of that is when people start to question whether this specific discriminatory practice is morally wrong. And if it's morally wrong should it also be legally wrong. But here's the thing. Every time a shop or business places a limit or discriminates on who they will sell too they are limiting how many goods they can sell. Businesses are out there to make money. If they're not making money they close. I don't think anyone should have a right to tell a business or shop that they can't impose a limit on who they'll sell any more than I think we should have a

right to tell a business or shop what they can sell. However, I also know that if a business or shop decides to limit or discriminate in a fashion that I think is morally wrong I will not shop there or use their services. This is my right as a consumer to make the choice who is going to get my money for goods and services and what goods and services I might need or want. So to answer just about everyone's questions it's all discrimination. Now we just have to decide if we consider that particular discrimination morally wrong and whether or not to give them our business. This is advantage to a free market. The flip side to that when a controlling body steps in and says you must sell to everyone regardless of your own moral beliefs. That's a short step away from them saying you also must carry certain goods to sell to people so that you don't inadvertently discriminate simply due to lack of choices. This also means that the consumer needs to be monitored so that they don't

discriminate when buying and therefore affect a business or shops profits because they should have as much a right to your business as you do to their goods. You can see where this going. Pretty soon you're told what you can buy and sell and to make things non discriminatory everyone must buy and sell the same things. So in an attempt to end discrimination the controlling body discriminated against everyone. TL:DR Yes, it's discrimination but noone should be told they have to sell to people they don't want to anymore than person should be told they have to buy from someone they don't want to. If a business doesn't make a profit they go out of business and you have the right to decide where you spend your money.

Regardless of the legal ramifications it is a really immature and just plain stupid thing to say
