Refusing to hire red-headed people for manual labor.

Explanation: hair color is unrelated to job performance and lacks a legitimate governmental/business justification, so a court would likely view that as arbitrary (irrational) discrimination. The other examples (protecting children, age limits for the draft, citizenship requirements for certain government jobs) are tied to plausible, legitimate interests.
