Perhaps the fear of losing a job or losing money will make some people think twice. There are still people who are bigots out there. However, I am hoping that the fear of losing money or a job will make them think twice. Maybe they will understand "don't do that".
If a customer wants all white staff, it should be up to them to find such a restaurant.
The customer isn't always right, and a restaurant should have the right to kick them out for any reason.
If a soul food restaurant in a black urban neighborhood wants to ban the white suburbanites who think it's trendy to go there, the restaurant should have the right to put up a "no whites" sign if they choose.
The government shouldn't force association on private property.
Here is the thing, that goes against the Supreme Court's ruling on Newman v. Piggie Park. Hell the Supreme Court got it inconsistently wrong with the recent baker ruling, even if it was against the handling of the commission. It is illegal.
Also given your past comments I'm pretty sure you are fine with racism.

Let me just say, I'm surprised that there hasn't been many lawsuits about the strip club industry where customers can be very picky on who they want dancing for them.
Here is the thing with strip clubs and (legal) prostitution, it isn't for the most part discriminatory. I know for me I'm a white male that dates other races, I can say i'm attracted to some women over others. For instance I don't like rail thin women at all. I like more athletic and thicker girls. That isn't discriminatory. From there I do like redheads (never dated one but I can't say I don't like it) over blondes (which is weird since I have dated maybe three blondes). That too isn't discriminatory. Now lastly it can't be discriminatory if there isn't a black woman working or the white redheaded woman walks in before the black woman. Quite simply put there are too manu X-factors to say a strip club or prostitution is discriminatory.

OK but that don't mean he was right in what he did. He should have been fired for encouraging the discriminatory behavior of this patron and potentially others. Had he not, he might have been fired but not as much of a sure thing honestly as it is for allowing a racist to ask for a different waiter based on race alone.

Or even retail. Lots of deceptive or opportunist customers.
Nope. You disrespect one of my employees, and I don't do business with you.
And beyond the simple dynamics of not letting a customer to verbally abuse your employees, there's a trust issue as well. Richard Branson put it, take care of your employees and they take care of you.
So, if you were in charge of the school the red hat teen went to, you would have expelled him immediately?
