Yes, nicely said.

Your point about the 100% freedom is correct, and that is the public policy of the U.S.

It's not a right to discriminate on public property. It is also not right to commit the abovementioned crimes on anyone. In both instances, you would be depriving an individual of something that is inherently theirs.[/b]

Well, it appears the US has some laws that do kind of allow people to infringe on the freedoms of others... But the whole public/private property makes it complicated I must admit. You can't stop people from being racist and discriminative.
