True. For context, I was watching Umbrella Academy season 2 where they go back in time and Allison was not allowed in that diner.

I have a pizza place by me run by a vocal racist, anti-semite, alt-right crazy. He gets enough business from the crazies that the people who boycott him, and there's a lot, don't matter.

i assume the idea was allowing black people into your business would drive away the white people with more money to throw around.

Now we have evolved into a society that looks down on homeless people in establishments. "You really shouldnt let that smelly guy in here. Its a bad look."

There's no gentle way to put it: People who give in to racism and prejudice may simply be dumb, according to a new study that is bound to stir public controversy.

Is the pizza good? Is he kind of person that you feel talents were wasted on, or is it just sorta run-of-the-mill local pizza.

Racists dont want to associate with people of other races. If you accept a black persons money and allow them into the diner, and as a result you lose more customers from racists and suffer a loss of reputation amongst your primarily racist customer base, thats a bad business decision

Think of it like this. They use the racism to target one smaller group to appeal to a much more racist bigger group, that in turn gives more money to the company to fuel the racism than the smaller group that is targeting ever could.

Pizza's great. One of the best pizza places in town, easily top 3 could be top 1. But dude will call customers "fat lib****," posted pictures coughing on pizza during the height of covid, harrasses his female employees, etc. He's an unstable POS who should never be in charge of anything.
His brother owns another pizza place with the same recipe. He's also a right-leaning butthead, but he's not an insane alt-right asshole.

Racists want to feel superior more than they want money.

That's the economic purpose of racism. You fleece the working class and they let you because you give them the false consolation of "superiority."

Historically between redlining and some other not so great practices black people typically didn't have much money and a business was thought to be literally better off if they didn't have to serve black people.

Because people at times care about more than material goods

Racism in Businesses makes a ton of sense, if your main customers are racist.
Capitalism isn't a paragon of virtue, but an amoral system that caters to whomever holds the currency.
You're right in so much of a fact that it doesn't care about race, age, nationality, gender, sex, or sexual orientation, etc... -- but it will seek out whichever brings the largest profit, which back in the day was racist rules and regulations.
It's why you shouldn't applaud most efforts that businesses do, which are clearly lined up with gains in capital.
Pride month being a good example, most (I'm sure there's one or two that did it before it became profitable, or rather unprofitable not to do) do it because it's the most profitable route at present.

How did his place not get shut down after the coughing stunt?

A shame that such great pizza is in the hands of a massive scumbag.
