How can I prove that I was discriminated against, and that an employer is not “equal opportunity”?

Basically I was wearing a headscarf (the way I wrap them in the winter makes me look like a hijabi, I’m aware of this because I’m routinely mistaken for a hijabi) and went into a Day’s Inn to pick up an application. I was told they were not hiring… but the week before I went in with my hair showing and was told they needed someone for the front desk overnight. When I called the next day (EDIT: after being told they were not hiring) they said they were hiring and needed someone at the front desk overnight, again /: I do not want to work at a place that is managed by Islamaphobes, so fuck that job, but I think I was (however incorrectly) profiled and I want to report it. Any tips? Happened in Virginia, US.
