Oh, and the only reason to favor using ethnicity over (say) religion, the 
kind of house you live in, the kind of job you work at, etc, is that it's 
easy to look at someone and see their ethnicity, and not so easy to look and 
see their religion, the size of their house, etc.

Which is why people who *are* racists think it's perfectly reasonable to 
base laws on that.
