The Google Adsense TOS clearly states they can terminate accounts for any reason. And yes that includes having brown hair. You have no right to any of the money. They DON'T owe you ANYTHING! I don't understand why people can't realize this!

You can't disable constitutional rights by TOS.

And that will matter when Google becomes part of the US government.

lutorm should have said "federal and state non-discrimination laws", not "constitutional rights", but the result is the same.

This is the same reason private business in the South are no longer allowed to be Whites-only.

I do not know of any federal or state US laws against discriminating by hair color.

I don't know of any that explicitly mention hair color, but there are broader laws where hair color would probably fit in. For example, Title VII of the Civil Rights act prohibits discrimination on traits "associated" with certain racial or ethnic groups.

Oh, true. Thanks!

my bad.

or perhaps when it starts doing business in the USA...

oh, wait.
