I think a business, supplying a service or product to its customers, should be allowed to discriminate through racism or homophobia. But I think utilities and hospitals should be exceptions. If a gay/ black person needs to use a phone, get running water, or receive medical treatment, they should be entitled to the same service as a straight white person.
I know hat you're post was about IQ, not so much race. Sorry that this is a bit of a straw man.

If you do have some pretentious bigoted bastard refusing to do business with someone because of certain traits, they've increased demand in the market for those goods or services from that group, some greedy capitalist will swoop in to profit off that market, people get what they need, and the asshole deservedly makes less money.
