This is material for another forum, but the US should look at how some of its citizens deal with foreigners. Racial and sexual discrimination have long ago been considered taboo, but treating foreign nationals or residents as second class people is often dealt with in the same light as separate facilites for blacks were years ago, just a fact of life rather than an unjust act. I came accross the same issue when I was looking for a used tandem. Can you imagine somebody today saying "sorry I don't sell to blacks"?, yet somebody can get away with saying "I don't sell to South Africans" and carry on. Being careful is no excuse for being prejudiced.
