When race is the predominant factor in the decision, I suppose.
But race would only be the predominant factor for business reasons. It's ironic - - a regular "Catch-22". It's like when banks were turning down mortgage applicants with crappy credit histories. Blacks as a group have crappier credit histories than whites and so were turned down more frequently than white applicants. Voila! Must be racism! In reality, it is 2013 and the kind of racism that puts the color green second to any other color is pretty much non-existant.
Of course, reality has never stopped the race-hustling scum and their victim-class minions from hollering "racism!"

It doesn’t stop being racism just because particular prejudgements happen to be correct in many circumstances. If Herman Cain walks into a restaurant and receives poor service because of all those other Black folks who didn’t tip the staff, he’s still being discriminated against based on his race. We can’t aspire to have a color blind society and be okay with people being discriminated against because of their skin color due to the behavior of people they have nothing to do with. I’m black, and I’m not anymore responsible for Black folks who don’t tip then you are. If I walk into a restaurant and get treated like crap because of the behavior of people who look like me, how is that not prejudice?
Whites were also turned down for loans at a higher rate than Asians. Why? Because their credit histories weren’t as good. The whole “racism” behind the turning down of blacks and Latinos for loans was a fraud. Why would any lending institution turn down a worthy loan if they knew they could make money? The truth is they wouldn’t. Lending institutions were simply applying their normal standards for lending. Until, of course, the Clinton admin enforced the CRA and ultimately crashed the economic system more than a decade later.
