That's stupid. Why should I have anymore right to discriminate against people with red hair than people with black skin? If it's wrong, it's wrong no matter the group you do it to.

I'm talking about the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. You can discriminate against red-haired people but not black people.

It seems very unlikely that discriminating against red-haired people would survive a challenge since it is strongly correlated with specific races.

i.e. "we don't serve people with dark very curly hair", good luck with that one.
