I don't know how to make you see on this point, since you also don't see how it can hurt minorities to allow businesses to deny them service.
I'll try one more time. If all races were equal in public esteem to begin with, then there might be something in what you say, about not having any racial preferences. However, when you have a majority population that is prejudiced against politically weaker races, then you need to be able to counter that to insure a just society. Alas, that correction is going by the wayside, and we are reverting to a pre-1960s Jim Crowism, where minorities cannot vote, cannot get an education, and in your world, cannot even get served in a restaurant.
