Discrimination is treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing is perceived to belong to rather than on individual merit.
Racism is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. Modern variants are often based in social perceptions of biological differences between peoples.
Now ask yourself is it racist/discrimination to refuse to see a client solely because of the color of their skin?
The answer is of course Yes, my point here is to highlight to people the prejudice which exists within themselves and that which is tacitly approved my a large number within society. The most nefarious aspect of this is the 'good people' that support this. You know the type, they like Bob Marley, have a Muhammed Ali poster on their wall, think Mandela was a great man but in real life turn a blind eye !!
The lack of empathy and self awareness is stunning.
p.s. i see you are still using that avatar in spite of your support for racism
