I'm not American, but it was my understanding that in the bad old days of the fights for civil rights, some politicians had the following stance: "I'm not racist, but I support the right of shopkeepers to who they want" (read: to white people only). Discrimination wasn't OK back then, discrimination is not OK now. Not that it has anything do do with the issue at hand, I'd be surprised if the majority of people arguing on this very forum against Eich didn't turn out to be straight.
