A far more likely scenario is that more of the 90% side with the people discriminated against, and the business loses more than 10%. Beyond that, 10% is not an insignificant number. If your competitors increase their business by 10% over you, they can use the additional profit to grab further market share through things like advertising, hiring additional help, etc. So in the end, you end up getting out competed by more than just 10%. Its not a static number.

I'm in general agreement with you, Beak. I'm just saying that it depends on the baker's locale.  I'm not confident a baker in Lynchburg, TN, or Odessa,Tx, or Salt Lake City would lose business.  There are also many places where losses and gains might balance out.

I.e., times HAVE changed, as you say, but unevenly--more so in San Francisco than in Oklahoma City.
