Then don't do business with EU citizens/residents.

And how exactly am I supposed to determine if someone is a EU citizen or not?

... ask them? Many businesses ask for one or more of address/official ID/credit card info.

so I have to ask for data that I don’t collect from anyone to allow some European to be able to ask me to remove it. Only someone in the EU could come up with something as stupid as this.

Anyway it is not the data collection, or even removing data that I don’t even collect that I am concerned about, but the the EU applying its laws on me even though I am not in the EU and have no connection with the EU beyond visiting the place a few times.
