So who gets to decide which laws are “crap laws” and which laws are proper laws that should be obeyed

Reasonable human beings. You act as if this doesn't happen on a daily basis. Do you always drive the exact speed limit? Ever violated a copyright for personal use?

Slavish devotion to the law does not make you noble or somehow better than everyone else. It merely makes you obedient.

I could maybe understand fighting that law by disobedience, but otherwise?

Crap does not necessarily mean discriminatory.
