> ...you can change your mind and ideas but can't change your race

So we can ban people for/against atheism because it's an idea one could theoretically change their minds on?

I mean you could make the legitimate argument that Atheism is a religion in itself. That said, your example is lacking and ill-defined in legalese.

You can therefore make the argument that not believing in moon goats is a religion, and therefore everyone follows an almost infinite number of religions through their acts of disbelief.

Atheism is literally the opposite of religion.

In the specific case in question the naughty language occurred off platform. So the "racist" in this analogy did keep their mouth quiet in your pub. But you still kicked them out.

Did you know that the incident in question is about this Sargon fellow attacking white nationalists? So to further kill the analogy, you kicked a fellow out of your pub for saying mean things things against racism while at another pub.

So if being black was a choice you would be okay with businesses discriminating against black people unless they chose to be a different race?

In this hypothetical universe, is it as easy to change one's race as it is to change one's clothes? If so, it seems no different than "no shirt, no shoes, no service."

But then a world in which race was a choice would be so different from our own that one would wonder whether racial discrimination would even exist, or what "black" would even mean.

If I understand the arguments some folks are putting out these days, race, like gender, is now a social construct and therefore entirely mutable: https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2015/06/16/how-fluid-i...

I am not saying I agree or disagree with it, but perhaps things are not as hypothetical as you believe.

Yes, this makes sense.
