At least the restaurant owner did not poison him. But it is quite reasonable that he should not serve and feed an enemy soldier (a friend of Fox News).

But let's be honest, they don't even care about the entirety of "protected classes" Only those members of a "protected class" that can ALSO be shifted into an "oppressed" group. (I.E. You can discriminate, but not on race....but if the person is white, that doesn't count or but not Sex, but if the person is a man, it doesn't count).

I believe the law disallows discrimination on the basis of race or sex, even for whites and males.
In other words, "It's legal" is often a dodge.

The law? Yes. But I'm not talking about the law, I'm talking about the opinions. I find it that many liberals (especially you) tend to lean on "legal" as an excuse to avoid giving an opinion on something. It's done in only certain areas. After all, it's legal for the business owner to refer to black customers as N-word slurs, but liberals wouldn't turn around and say "Well, it's legal to call them that, so long as he doesn't kick them out because of it."
In other words, "It's legal" is often a dodge.
I realize that some people would prefer no discrimination at all, on the theory that everything will even out within a few hundred years. That just seems like an excuse to allow the effects of injustices of the past to continue indefinitely into the future.

I would point out that in many of these circumstances, there is no "making up" done by the discrimination. After all, illegally having a women's only showing of a movie, in no way, mitigates past gender discrimination.
