So do hotdog vendors.

Thanks to the Civil Rights Act.

Wrong again. If I choose to only buy hotdogs from Mexican vendors, the Civil Rights Act says nothing. But your thought police would probably arrest me in your dream world.

Bingo. If I own a widgit store and discriminate against two equally qualified people, I'm a racist. But if I choose only to buy from the widgit store owned and operated by white people rather than the one owned by black people, it's ok...even if the widgits are identical.

If two business owners of different races set up similar businesses, shouldn't the consumer be forced to give his money to the one who produces the better widgit rather than based on the race of the owner/workers?

It's the same damn thing.
