Edit:
What if it were the other way around. What if a customer rejected a prostitute on the basis of skin colour? Will that be considered racist?

People care too much. I don't have anything with Asian women, I am just not that attracted to them in general. It's just a prefference, nothing wrong with it. Gimme a black beauty anytime though

Prostitution is basically consultancy (and yes, I have worked as a consultant and this parallel was used in my second interview). I was always told the rule that a consultant never says no to work - they merely increase the amount they charge.

Thus to refuse would be technically illegal if it is based purely on the colour of her skin, but if she was to price them out of the market that would be technically OK.

If you charge a certain race more for the same service, you are opening just as big of a can of worms as refusal of service. There would be no way to say the extra charge was due to extra costs incurred, because speaking publicly about those extra costs would have one labelled as a racist.

Maybe she just doesn't like blacks. You can dislike her for it but hookers should be able to deny their services to people they don't like.

No, that is not equal protection under the law.

It discriminates against a segment because of their race, religion or sexual orientation.

It does not matter her reasons, based on reality or fact or experience or imagined. She is denying service, and this cannot stand.

I think people tend to get overly upset about things like this, hooker or not if she isn't into blacks why would she be forced to accept the transaction.

lol, I never used to care for the looks of most Asian women either, but the more of them I saw, the more the look grew on me. I have seen very, very many smoking hot Asian ladies. I am generally not very attracted to black or Latino women though. There are some whom I consider very attractive, but for the most part, I don't really find most of them that attractive. It is not the skin colours, but just the features that many have I don't think are very complimentary. I have never understood the craze for Latino women. They got their beauties, but on average, I would say they are below average compared to most other women. (at least to my taste)

Isn't a difference in taste a great thing, attraction-economics at it's finest, more for everyone. Latino and black beauty's seriously confuse me, but Asians and blonds just not that much although they can of course be hotter than the sun, more of a in general thingie
