27. If it were simply an "either/or" argument, you would have a good point.
Ethnic "districts" do exist, of course, many right here in the US. But as you move higher in the economic scale, those "districts" diminish. Following your argument, I believe, people would not be "allowed" to move to better neighborhoods (read: white) as they move up the economic scale. Thus, society becomes not only separate, but decidedly unequal.

Dangerous precedent which has already been discarded in the US, at least legally. I live in a very mixed neighborhood and am married to a man of another race; and, not surprisingly, we have a child who looks neither Caucasian or Asian Indian. Our decision to be together was our choice, despite strong objection from his family's side, less from mine.

Next "logical" step in the argument: Where does my child go to live?
