It's the businesses loss and if they lose business as a result it's their own fault.

They aren't the only ones who lose.

because being polite about it doesn't seem to be getting through to them... they'll continue doing it until we show them we don't like them doing it.

It's how you show them that matters. You don't have to be polite.

What would happen at that pub if this happened.
A fight broke out involving a maori/islander and someone was seriously injured. Perhaps permanently ?

Surely the pub could not be held liable ?

They can be held liable if they are in some way responsible. If someone is violent, they should be kicked out, regardless of race. If someone isn't violent, they should not be kicked out just because of their race.

Question for you DT: http://ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1182126544/37#37

I take it you're talking from experience.

Court acquits teacher in 'retard' case

http://www.smh.com.au/news/World/Court-acquits-teacher-in-retard-case/2007/06/29/1182624127198.html

A teacher who forced a pupil to write "I am a retard" 100 times was acquitted by an Italian court of abuse charges.

The teacher, whose identity was withheld to protect her privacy, forced the punishment on the 12-year-old boy after he blocked a fellow pupil from going to the toilet and called him "gay" and "girly."

The parents had sought 25,000 euros ($A39,789)in damages and a public prosecutor had called for a two-month prison sentence, but the court cleared the teacher, a court source said.

The teacher said her punishment of the boy had been appropriate, particularly after a widely publicised case of an adolescent who committed suicide in Italy, apparently after receiving taunts at school about being homosexual.

Gay rights groups had called for the charges to be dropped.
