It's called prejudice. White drinking fountains?
LSU and Ole Miss and Bama segregated. Wallace and Ross Barnett called this freedom too.
We reserve the right not to serve Negroes and no Irish near apply not to mention we don't take Jews is so 1950s. Well unless you are a Bama frat.

Jeaux, why do you think that aggressive violence is more moral than prejudice?

JB, how do you feel about native preference?

I dont think most of the people commenting here (me included) like the idea of discrimination. The question was framed asking if an employer should have "the right" to fire employees for those reasons. There is distinct, though sometimes small, difference in the "right to" and "should".
The question is implying, should the employer have the power, meaning, should the government step in.
The government should not step in because the government will not make things better. We as a society should punish people that act in an inappropriate manner in the way a truly free society should. Either stop using the service of the business or stop associating with those people.

If I put up White Drinking Fountains in my store then public backlash will hurt me through free market forces. No need for govt regulations.
And it's not prejudice..it's freedom of disassociation. See Walter Williams on this. Bob doesn't want black customers. Bob should have that freedom. Bob wouldn't stay in business long because a lot of white customers would not frequent his store. It's called 'voting with your feet.'
I don't understand why you have so little trust in the concept of FREEDOM. It's wonderful stuff.
