While it can be seen as discriminative, and it is, I do not personally find it discriminative because I understand the situation. I am not offended by it because I get the point that is being presented.
You're being intentionally dense. You don't need intent to discriminate; you can discriminate without intent. As was already mentioned, it doesn't matter why you exclude black people from your whites-only cafe, you're still excluding and discriminating against people because their skin is a different color than you.
By your logic, segregation is totally okay as long as it has a profit motive. "I'm not going to let black people shop here, because it might cause me to lose white customers" is exactly just as racist as saying "I'm not going to let black people shop here because I hate blacks."
And the logic Squeenix is using? "We're not going to let gay couples get married because it might cause me to lose bigoted customers" is no less homophobic than saying "I'm not going to let gay couples get married in-game because I hate fags."
They are exactly the same thing and you're blind and willfully ignorant if you cannot see this.
