The world isn't perfect, but if someone runs a business, then they should have the right to run it as they wish aslong as they are within the law.

Its a dead end...
I say that if the law allows discrimination then the law should be changed. I dont think this article was just about hotels but about how this sort of business practice is considered acceptable.

I also disagree that its not affecting anyone in a significantly negative way. Japan has a growing number of naturalized citizens such as Debito who are Japanese citizens that are often discriminated against via such laws.
