Legal Question
Is keeping a person out on the basis of one's race illegal?
Dear Madam / Sir
My brotherin-law is refusing to have a friend of mine over in his house on the basis that she is black and may constitute a 'bad' influence for his kids.
Question: is this in any form illegal (as he is acting on pure racist grounds)?
He also uses the argument ''she is Christian'' as a reason to keep my friend out (he himself is Jewish).
Thanks
