> Same way that when you open a store you can't pick and choose your customers. But you can mostly pick and choose your customers outside of discriminating against a protect class (in the US). If you don't want to do business with people with brown hair, no one is stopping you.

"genetic information" is a protected class, so you could not discriminate against anyone based on their natural hair color. You could however ban people with blue hair.

edit: Even if genetic information doesn't work for hair color. "Color" is already a protected class, so it's a moot point.

I think you're confusing genetic information with phenotype. I don't think the law works like you think: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_Information_Nondiscrim...

Are you sure about that? Suppose I have a store and wish to ban redheads.

Has that been tested in court?
