Would you say that to a surgeon? "No brain surgery for you, you're black!"
That's not how services work. You sell, they have money. When McDonalds says no shoes no shirt no service, at least there's a sanitation consideration.
Would you support the pharmaceutical who refused to sell AIDS medication to gays? Would you support the electricity company who shuts off the power to all legal Mexican families?

Conversely, if I worked at the DMV, and refused Willravel service, that would be wrong, the DMV is state owned, and the state can not discriminate.
