So you're creating a false dichotomy.

I don't think I did that. I thought I just added a slightly different twist to the hypothetical. And I think you answered it "yes."

Unless I'm mistaken, as long as, by whatever means, he never actually communicates to a potential client that that client is unacceptable by virtue of class identity, then he does not have an unacceptable business practice. One of ways he could assure that never happens would be, the first time someone unacceptable asks for a massage, to respond that he can't take on the client because he is closing his business. Closing his business rather than rejecting the client would obviate the harm.
