Here is a good business idea for anyone whose feeling...entrepreneurial.
Hire white people.
Cater to white people.
Make being white part of the business or it's brand.
Profit.

In 2014, over 25 trillion was invested in the US by other countries, notably China, Russia, Hong Kong, and Brazil. Only one of those is predominantly Caucasian. Your favorite "White" businesses are not as White as you think. Non-Whites are appearing in the Fortune 500 with alarming frequency.
So go ahead, start your Whitey McWhitersons brand, but if you don't sell to POC, you'll go nowhere. Ask Tommy Hilfiger.
Most certainly a future winner of the Nobel prize for Economy!
PS: Okay, I guess you could sell tanning products...

For anyone whose feeling like they want to start a business and fail, more like.

Ironically that would actually be quite revolutionary, considering how corporations today tend to regard employees as little more than assets and customers as being walking bags of profit.
And of course considering them completely divorced from each other, as if employees are not potential customers and cannot spend money if they do not have money.

No kidding. I worked commission retail for two weeks and it was such a viper's nest I turned in my name tag and walked away.
I wasn't there to serve the customers despite the slogans and jargon and pretty little lies we were expected to tell ourselves. No, my job was to convince the customer to serve my needs. I'm used to being treated like a tool or an expense to be managed, such is the fate of the wage slave in a province with such shit labour laws. What I had in that one job was a brief glimpse through the eyes of an "entrepreneur" when they looked at another human being: each of us a stone to be wrung of blood, placed in an order and polished for presentation or simply moved out of the way for the next prospect.
The feeling was so alien and parasitic to me.
In a strictly capitalist society, such as 1950s America, this was a fairly standard practice. Today, many libertarians would have to agree with this.
From an economic stance, I have no real problem with this business structure. My belief in the equality of people and protection from discrimination is a moral belief, not an economic belief.
However, the last stage of this business idea is on par for naivety with the underpants gnomes. I would personally boycott a 'whites only' business on moral grounds, and a significantly larger volume of people would agree with me than would be drawn to the idea. Not exactly good for profit.
Maybe in the 1950's. Today a "whites only" policy will get you a poor online reputation, a bunch of protesters, and probably a class action lawsuit or two.
Besides, relying on white money only is a sure sign of disaster. White people aren't even the huge majority which can easily elect Republicans president any more.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
