Sure, there probably are people like that, but they deserve to fail and go out of business, don't you think?

Well the problem with that is that there's some businesses that wouldn't fail and go out of business even if there were instances of bigotry in hiring. So that's why people had to step in. Like, if you tried to get a job at Starbucks and weren't hired because you were white, that one store isn't going to fail, much less the company. And it wouldn't be fair to hire or not hire people based on your race, right? So people set up rules so that hiring people based on race is illegal, which works out better for businesses and people overall.
