“ Should a Jewish deli discriminate against Christians?”
Sure, if they want to. Why the hell would you want to patronize a business that doesn’t want or like you anyway?
“ Should a Christian business discriminate against a Jewish customer?”
Sure. See answer above.
Unless your business is receiving public funds a business should be able open or restrict who they do business with. That’s the liberty part of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”
Exactly, 💯 with you.
Omg. This. I'm so glad someone gets it.
With all respect, who? This is getting very confusing.
Who? He's on first, mate! 👍😂
What?
I do know the local subway went 'Halal' prior to covid. They quit having bacon as an option. I don't know of other subways did the same or not, as we haven't been to a subway since. Used to go 2-3 times a month prior to that.
Yikes subway? Find a real sub shop
I like halal food. I like non halal food too. If a restaurant didn't serve me because I'm kufr, that's their loss. I'll spend my dollars elsewhere, or make my own halal food restaurant.
As soon as you refuse service to or piss off one segment of society, someone else will take that market share. Bud Light? Naw, Modello plz.
But have you found another subway that does sell bacon? That’s the point. Take you money elsewhere.
If a business can refuse a customer because of religion, you become a Theocracy. (Ruled by religion) If a business can refuse a customer because of any general characteristic, you have a social MAJOR problem. Should a White owned restaurant be able to refuse to serve Blacks? No. That's why we have anti-discriminatory laws. Look, I have the same feelings as everyone else, but no, a BUSINESS can't discriminate against any generalized group. If you want to discriminate against anyone for any reason, then close the BUSINESS and do your business as a PERSON. Then you're fine to discriminate anything.
A CUSTOMER deciding NOT to BUY from a BUSINESS is a whole different thing. As a CUSTOMER we DO have the right to NOT BUY from any particular BUSINESS for any reason we choose.
It’s a private business! Government has no business telling a private business what they can or can’t do! It’s not a theocracy because the government isn’t adopting one religion or another.
“ Should a White owned restaurant be able to refuse to serve Blacks? No.”
If it’s a privately owned business that accepts no government money then yes! So you’ll have racist assholes that own businesses. That’s the price you pay for Liberty!
“ If you want to discriminate against anyone for any reason, then close the BUSINESS and do your business as a PERSON.”
Most privately owned businesses are owned by a PERSON/sole proprietorship and are not corporations.
“ As a CUSTOMER we DO have the right to NOT BUY from any particular BUSINESS for any reason we choose.”
And as a private business that receives no government assistance, that business has the RIGHT to do business with whomever they want without the government telling them what to do.
If you ever saw the movie 42 about Jackie Robinson, there’s a scene where a bus carrying black baseball players stops by a gas station. The white operator of the gas station was going to sell them the gas but when Jackie Robinson asked to use the bathroom, the white business operator refused and told them they could go around to the back. Robinson told him they were no going to fill up at that station and the white business operator capitulated and allowed them to use the bathroom.
That’s how you change attitudes. Not by having the government force requirements on privately owned businesses.
So a bunch of atheists refusing service to the Muslims will create a theocracy? It doesn't follow...
Now if it's government or publicly funded, that's different.
You can't register your car or get a business license or driver license because you're Muslim? You can't be admitted to university even though your scores are great, because we have enough Asians or whites? Can't run utilities to your house because you're Christian?
That's not okay.
I'm on the fence regarding property.
Oh no! How terrible! The local bakery created a theocracy by deciding to only serve Christians!
…
Guess I’ll just open one that serves everyone, single-handedly save my town from the newly imposed theocracy, and make triple the money he does while I’m at it…
