Little Harold is also confusing criminal law with civil law. A few examples... It is the same when Hal Turner is asking white people not to do business with certain Jewish businesses. Or when Christians picket businesses asking them not to do business with gays. It's all legal and there's nothing Little Harold can do about it. If Little Harold does get discriminated against, it's between him and the hotel. And he'll lose to the high priced lawyers the hotels can afford but Little Harold can't.
