On the surface, I have no issue with this. It's their business to do with as they please. I think alienating 50% of customers is a bad idea but there is no such thing as bad publicity. However, this is where it sucks being pro market, what if the racist old codger up the block decides he wants to have the exact same model but higher prices for black people. By my same logic I would be forced to side with the business owner despite thinking it's stupid and a terrible idea. It really forces you into a trick bag intellectually.
It is no doubt wrong to do this. There shouldn't be a debate.
I assume it is just a publicity stunt anyways.
