It would not be twisting the law, it would be following the law. We cannot allow people to assume why someone is named. If that is the case, one could discriminate against someone named Usama and claim that he/she had no idea Usama was an Arabic name. Oh, his name is Hideki, and it is obvious that he was named after the Japanese general. No, we do not allow people to discriminate simply because of what they feel or assume. You have to treat everyone equally unless there is a reason allowing you to discriminate, and the store's reason was not strong enough in this case.
