Bob, the proprietor of a market, refused to allow two African American teenage boys, Tony and Pete, into his store. When Tony protested, Bob pointed to a sign that said "We refuse the right to refuse service to anyone!!" and said "No gang-banging in my store." Tony and Pete believe Bob violated their civil rights. Bob claims he did not discriminate based on race, but refused service because Tony and Pete looked like gang members based on how they talked and dressed. A court would have to evaluate whether Bob's reason for refusing service was a pretext for unlawful discrimination.
