Yes, I believe a business or individual should be free to conduct their business as they wish, with whomever they wish.
The free market will weed out the bad businesses who simply wish to discriminate just to discriminate.

Your logic does not take into account the relatively recent history of the Jim Crow South Era, nor the racism that would happen in the north but never publicized.
Your logic would have tabled, indefinitely, the Civil Rights Act.
We live in a pluralistic society, where all people are supposed to be treated equally.
These recent bills and amendments are definitely steps towards the proverbial "slippery slope".
