As a business person, I can refuse to do business with a person no
matter what. I don't have to take ANY job if I don't want to.

You have to think a bit wider than your immediate surrounding or
personal business.

As one example, Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits
discrimination based on race, color, religion or national origin in
hotels, motels, restaurants, theaters, and all other public
accommodations engaged in interstate commerce.

So, if you ran a diner, you could not legally refuse to serve blacks,
Jews, Armenians, et cetera, because they were black, Jewish, or
Armenian. You might be able to refuse service to PsychoSnotty because he
is an asshole, but I am not sure about that.

You forgot women and gays.

Not only that the ADA requires that you make accommodations so that
anyone with any kind of handicap has to have access to EVERY part of
your business open to the public.
A case in point. In Ft Myers there was a restaurant with 4 or 5 tables
on a small elevated platform in back that was not accessible. There
were dozens of tables in the same room that were accessible, same
food, same service. The owner was sued out of existence because he
would not remove 12 or more tables to build a ramp.

The only unprotected class in he US is healthy, heterosexual, white,
males.
You can throw then out any time you want.

Awwwwww. Poor baby.

That Ft. Myers restauranteur could have simply removed the platform and
put in four more tables.

I suspect that most people in this country have decided that
discrimination of the sort under discussion is not in our national
interest. Women, for example, still only earn 75% of the pay men earn
for doing similar work. Wasn't the Publix supermarket chain in your area
in hot water a decade or so ago for non promoting women to managerial jobs?
