That just makes you a violent thug.
Supporting the idea that racism should be illegal makes you worse than the racists -by far.

'No Jewish filth allowed in this shop. Any Jew entering this shop will be treated as a trespasser.'

If I own the only butcher shop in town and I deny a set of customers the chance to buy kosher meat during Passover with my continual refusal to stock it is that not discrimination?

Perhaps you should follow the debate about halal in KFC then.

If you think that's the same then well done you.
