Is that race discrimination, to give a discount to only one race, excluding all others?

You will be sued and put out of business in your first week if you try that.



You can give something like a free desert with dinner purchase to all people named (insert your favorite Thai name here) Just keep your names traditionally Thai and throw in a betsy or clint once in a while.



We have a pizza parlor here that gives a free mini pizza to people with certain names every day. They put the name on the marque outside and only those who drive by see the name.

No they can't give discounts to just one race because that's race discrimination. They can only do it for old people and little kids.

Yes that is discrimination. The restaurant will get a lot of complaints and possible lawsuits for discrimination.

No, they can't. And Thai is a nationality, not a race.

Technically, they can do this. Whether it's legal is a totally other question.
