So, how then do we overcome people who don't want to be served by us because of cultural gender issues?
If you work in the customer service field you have the right to refuse service to anyone you wish. If they ask why, tell them. Tell them that you don't like them personally and that there is no one specific reason. If they ask for the manager, bring the manager.
I am the manager.....
And I would literally lose my job for refusing service. The almighty dollar is all that counts in retail andmostall companies are quite happy to sacrifice employee happiness and sanity to get the sale.

Ya it does, but then again we don't allow 10's of millions of whoever wants to come in, to just waltz in.
Canada has the best system I have seen, agreed, and everyone knows it, so generally everyone is alot more calm.
According to the Australian Human Rights Commission, you could be found to have breached anti-discrimination law if you refuse service to a customer based on certain attributes, such as their:
Age
sexual orientation, gender identity and intersex status
race
disability.
When refusing a customer is allowed
You can refuse a customer as long as you’re not discriminating. Here are some common reasons businesses may refuse customers and examples of when it’s allowed:
Dress code
Example: A customer comes to your restaurant with thongs on. You refuse them entry because you have a house rule that bans thongs. This is OK if you apply the rule equally to everyone. You can’t only apply the rules to a certain group of people (such as only men and not women), or apply rules that certain groups can’t meet.
Note : In some states, the rules are different. For example, under SA laws about dress codes, you must apply the rule equally to everyone. But under WA laws about dress codes External Site, it’s OK to only apply dress codes to one sex if it reflects current community standards for men and women, such as banning sleeveless tops for men only at an upmarket wine bar.
Disruptive behaviour
Example: When a group of teenagers approaches your cafe, you refuse entry because the same group has caused trouble before and the police had to be called. This is OK, since you’re refusing them because of your experience of their past behaviour, not because of their age
Legal requirements
Example: You refuse to serve alcoholic drinks to customers under 18 years of age. This is OK because according to the law you’re not allowed to serve alcohol to under-age customers.
Safety reasons
Example: You refuse entry to an amusement park ride because an 11 year old doesn’t have an adult accompanying them. It’s OK to refuse based on age if there are reasonable safety concerns.

Diversity does not mean exclusion of whites IMO. Multiculturalism clearly is a problem because rather focusing on a single cohesive society we must all have our own unique identities. Why does one need to be African American or Mexican American or Italian American for example? Why can't we all just be Americans and focus on the common good of our country? Let's focus on economics not race, gender, etc. That's what the OLD LEFT did. Not so much with the neo-liberals.
As far as Israel is concerned, I can't say I entirely disagree. It's ironic that your post appeared as I am listening to a talk by Gilad Atzmon.

I think your name kinda points to your ideology..
So how do you fix the demographics?

It has been my experience that " multiculturalism " and " diversity " means the same thing.
The West is too white, but Mexico is never too brown, Africa never too black, Asia is never too yellow and the Middle East is never too dark tan?
Just my observations, from my nearly 40 years.
As the only countries not diverse enough are only ever predominantly white countries.
