And please don't get caught up in some alarmist bs debates about a restaurant having a women's section. Such minor issues - negotiating the common societal rules is a normal daily part of managing complex societies like ours.
You should ask why so many people keep purposefully directing the discussion that way. Because on this issue, there are lots of genuinely nasty characters trying to prepare the public space for hate. People are constantly testing and stretching the limits of what sort of speech mainstream discourse can tolerate. And when it comes to the most vulnerable parts of society, the immigrants, changes in discourse always have concrete consequences on the street.
