> I believe that only applies to the hospitality business, doesn't it? Nope - while 42 U.S.C. §2000a was "public accommodations", it isn't the only law in this area. > Furthermore, "those people" very much excludes nationality otherwise the sanctions against Iran would have been unconstitutional. Nope on three levels. The first one is that the groups protected by 42 USC (and the other laws) are "race, color, religion, or national origin and it's tough to see how that doesn't cover nationality. The second one is that the laws for the first part aren't part of the constitution. The third one is the regulation/law in question did NOT say anything about race. It said you can't do business with Iranian-country entities and had the "notwithstanding" boilerplate, creating an exemption to the other laws, an exemption limited to Iranian-country entities. That exemption did NOT cover Iranians without the country connection.
