Business owners have rights too. I don't think anyone has a right to someone else's goods, services or property. As a society we're well beyond the kind of discrimination you're intimating, and you know it. People are so afraid to offend and so PC today, society itself polices companies from being discriminatory. Public opinion has evolved and been nudged to absolute tolerance, and what you see now is society trying to put a cap on just how absurd our accommodation must be.
You're wrong.
Racism and sexism are still alive and well. Most people don't even realize they are.
Most people don't realize it? Hm... if I let other people make up my mind for me I would know that every single one of Trump's voters hate women and black people.
Bias will never not exist. The PC society we are in would never allow anything remotely close to segregation. The more genders you create the more terms you're creating for PR professionals to avoid. Can you clarify which part of my statement you think is factually wrong?

That part. Plenty of people discriminate and as we've just witnessed with Donald Trump's election: they aren't afraid to offend. Especially behind closed doors.
Public opinion has not evolved to absolute tolerance. If it did, we wouldn't have things like conversion camps, hate posts on facebook, online bullying, or really anyone from the opposite political party who happy calls you a fucktard, liberal crybaby, or any number of insults through the safety of the internet. No, we are not even close to an absolute tolerance. We just force it behind closed doors.
As for most people not realizing it, it's true. You can be racist without thinking you're racist simply because that's how you've been raised. You think a certain action or joke is ok but it's not.
Fun, isn't it?
