How would you respond to the following arguments regarding discrimination?
Post Body

Most libertarians believe that freedom should include the freedom to discriminate, but what are your arguments against these points as to why, for example, racial discrimination should be illegal.

(1) Should grocery stores in extremely rural areas be allowed to discriminate based on race? Even more importantly, what about hospitals? Should providers of essential and/or life-saving services be allowed to discriminate?

(2) The public market is a public place/space, and all customers should be treated equally based on race.

(3) Private businesses are completely reliant on services and infrastructure (roads, sidewalks, sewer system, water, etc.) paid for by the public. Thus, the business should serve the entire public, whose tax dollars fund the system that all businesses rely on.
