Here's a serious question. Should any business be able to decide who to serve, how much it costs and what they provide based on the customer? Examples color, religion, sexual preference?

Minorities pay more to bank than whites
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/minor...161950159.html
Quote:
In its survey of over 2,600 adults, Bankrate found that white checking-account holders said they paid just $5 a month in bank fees. Those numbers more than double for black and Hispanic account holders.
Hispanics pay $16 a month in banking fees, while black customers paid $12 a month, Bankrate found. Those who identified as another race also paid more, at $8 a month for banking services.
