In the United Kingdom, never mind the RAA, this would be quite illegal 
(see s.13, prohibited conduct) unless such treatment is required by law 
(e.g.  required by legally binding sanctions).

How can anyone in the 21st century believe that any "business decision" 
doctrine could allow making decisions on the basis of race/citizenship 
(or any other protected characteristic) is quite alien over here and 
incomprehensible.
