Allow me to suggest that you know no such thing, and that
you're presenting a strawman argument that may, in fact,
be completely false.  US companies tend to come down on the
side of supporting diversity and rejecting bigotry - take
a look at the response to North Carolina's HB2.

It's fine to make conjectures, but please couch it in
terms of "I think this is what would happen."  I believe
that in this case you'd be incorrect.
