You're confusing "causes" with "permits".  There's already racial 
discrimination. By removing all controls on how you may conduct business, 
some people will preferentially patronize businesses that discriminate 
against those they don't like.

It's sort of like how freedom of speech doesn't cause anti-government radio 
stations. It just permits them in ways that a country with heavy censorship 
does not.
