Let's face it; the facts are that most of us do not know the political leanings of business owners. We don't bother to check them out before we do business with them. To lambast one business based on the owner's statement is sort of myopic from my POV.

Political point of view, true; however, cultural orientation perhaps? Meaning, I will not go to a German restaurant (they might not want me there anyway), yet I avidly go to a Chinese restaurant or Pizza parlor. I do not go to an Irish pub, since some of the clientele might see me as an "intruder."
It might have more to do with where one feels "comfortable,"
and not receive "looks."
Is there any
reason
that u 'd be likely to receive "looks" ??
This is not a challenge; just wondering.

Since any New Yorker can discern I am a Jewish New Yorker, not having tatoos, and my manner of speech connotes an education, and the way I comport myself. So, there is many a blue-collar New Yorker, in a pub, that would wonder what the "wind blew in." Jewish New Yorkers tend not to inhabit pubs, if they aren't looking to assimilate into the world of New York pubs, in my opinion. I have learned to not go where I am not appreciated.
Oddly, in the service, I was very welcomed in local watering holes, since then with my short sideburns, circa the late '60's, it was obvious I was military, and then I was appreciated. The rest of the country appreciates military.
