I generally agree with your position, but let me be the devil's advocate here:

Let's assume that some fraction of the population are Nazis, and they decide to boycott all Jewish products. Let's assume there is a general agreement on the definition of "Jewish products" (for example anything produced by a company with a Jewish owner, or using such component). The Nazis express a desire to have all products clearly labeled. Would you support this specific customer right?

There are clearly layed out categories that by law can't be used to discriminate people. Religion is among them. I don't think that information about protect classes has to be provided.
