Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if this violates anti-discrimination laws in a number of states.
Imagine we're not talking about AI but any type of business. If the business instructed their employees to "Provide a different response based on what race the customer indicates in their order" they would be sued into oblivion.
I'm unaware of any law that restricts me from programming my own bot to be as bigoted as I may wish within the confines of my own personal interactions with this bot.
What's the relevance of that? This is a product OpenAI sells.
Depends where you live.
But OpenAI is not serving different responses to customers of different races. Anti-discrimination laws are about not discriminating against actual people.
