Words have meanings, that the left cannot grasp reality in no way alters the fact that words have meanings.
The fool who cannot discriminate between a snarling dog and one wagging there tail will often find the idiocy or their ways.
"Racial Discrimination" is a phrase that means to differentiate based on race. Often this is tied to bigotry - similar to the bigotry have toward Christians.
But even in this you leftists discriminate, Muslims are good, Christians are bad.
You use a narrow example of 'distinguishing' between red and green as opposed to 'discriminating' against a person or group you personally find distasteful. Do you think I would be enlightened by specious logic? Are you?
And the dogma with which bigots use as an aegis to defend their blind stupid hatred does not square with the preaching of Jesus Christ. They are preventing a loving, forgiving, beautiful faith to serve an ugly purpose. This is sadly all too typical of fundamentalists of all faiths. I cite Islamic fundamentalism as a paradigm to these unChristian bigots.
Such as the blind stupid hatred you of the left have for white people and Christians?
And that stupid, unfounded hatred DOES do real harm beyond 'hurt feelings'. A catered affair is expensive. Using moronic dogma against an otherwise paying customer can cause the cost of the affair to spiral upward, cause the paying customer to seek services far from their hometown, and create a situation that divides one person from the community, one paying customer from another and uses 'faith' as a weapon rather than the embrace it was meant to be.
But, I suspect you hold no place in your heart, your mind or whatever passes for you civic ethics for anyone who fails to toe the line of your narrow and exclusive world view.
This was not a catered affair, it was a targeted attack on a religious couple to challenge and defeat 1st amendment protections. There are plenty of bakeries in Portland, "Sweet Cakes" was targeted because of Christian imagery displayed at a trade show.
Regardless of reason though, it is clear that you or abjectly hostile to the 1st amendment and an opponent of civil rights. The anti-liberty left is dedicated to crushing civil rights in general, as you demonstrate here.
