Why?

Because it is none of the government's business how I want to treat people. As long as I am not breaking any laws, how I act, what I do, what I believe in, how I interact with society, none of these is the government's concern.

Why do you think the government can order people not to be racist?

Lol but there are laws and you may break them XD

But there are laws preventing businesses from restricting people based on race.

I hope people keep this in mind with the laws restricting abortion rights, gay rights and trans rights that have been coming out in recent years.

So what's your basis for thinking The government has no interest.

I didn't say they had no interest. I said they have no business.

Why isn't it their business? Business are regulated all the time

Because they are trying to prescribe moral behavior to private entities.

They do that all the time. You aren't allowed to have a business that kills people either. So clearly the government is perfectly fine to make moral laws

That's because everybody agrees that murder is wrong and should be a crime. However not everyone agrees that racism is wrong and should be a crime.
