No... you just missed it. I've referenced Dr. Zhivago many many times.
In Rand Paul's world, does a private doctor get to refuse treatment to a black man?

In the early years...yes. After he matured...no.
If someone had knowledge that they could convince a jury of that they were discriminated against on the basis of race by an instructor who offers his service open to the public...they could easily be sued.
You are not suggesting that it impossible that the instructor could be sued, and also impossible that the person discriminated against could win in Civil court, are you?
On the other hand, a California court decided that a restaurant owner could not refuse to seat a gay couple in a semi-private booth where the restaurant policy was to only seat two people of opposite sexes in such booths. There was no legitimate business reason for the refusal of service, and so the discrimination was arbitrary and unlawful.
Like many issues involving constitutional law, the law against discrimination in public accommodations is in a constant state of change. Some argue that anti-discrimination laws in matters of public accommodations create a conflict between the ideal of equality and individual rights. Does the guaranteed right to public access mean the business owner's private right to exclude is violated? For the most part, courts have decided that the constitutional interest in providing equal access to public accommodations outweighs the individual liberties involved.

nice try... but this is not about public accommodations.. Not on this fact pattern... he is given tennis lessons in his backyard - i picked those facts to focus on the issue of individual choice... this is would be about individual liberties being infringed in order to promote the goals of some yet to be named statute by you.
I am still waiting for you to name the law.
You said he would be sued and he would lose. I am still waiting to see how he would lose? You need a cause of action to bring a suit... What is you cause of action... how does that law apply, how was it violated?
From the article previously linked:
The Right to Refuse Service: Can a Business Refuse Service to Someone Because of Appearance, Odor or Attitude?
The Federal Civil Rights Act guarantees all people the right to "full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, or national origin."

Shoot, go ahead and discriminate on the basis of the race of people for a service that you offer publicly...
Be a teacher of music, run an ad saying "Music lessons for whites only."
See how it goes...

Which title of the Civil Rights act actually prevents that specific senario? Not Title II.
That person would suffer the condemnation of the community at large which may force him to do an about face or never attract any clients.
