Should nightclubs be able to turn black people away?

The difference here is that clubs (and all businesses, for that matter), are legally prohibited from turning people away because of race. There aren't any laws prohibiting discrimination against ugly people. Is it somehow morally wrong to turn people away based on physical appearance? Perhaps. But as a girl who prefers darts and cheap beer to the club type atmosphere, I sometimes wish the bars I liked were more exclusive about who they let in. As a girl, it's nice to be able to dance, or shoot pool, or whatever it is you like to do, without there being gobs of ugly, aggressive guys all up on you. I'm not saying that all places should be really exclusive based on looks, but it's nice to have that option.
