But that's not the point. The point, which you missed, is that there all sorts of ways we can segregate people who are "not like us," and make it seem logical.
It's important to stand up for differences that have nothing to do with useage by choice, but because of what or who someone is. Black people generally weigh more than their anglo counterparts of approx same size, while Asians weigh less. Tall people generally weigh more. These things are not choices.
I can't believe the people who are falling for this and failing to see how similar it is to the Jewish thing. The way discriminatory people get things to fly is of course for there to be some reason for it. There's always a reason given for segregation.
The Patriot Act was made to fly by giving a sound reason, but of course, the end game is....it took away citizens' right to privacy. Even though there was a good reason to do so. There is always a good reason given to take away rights.
