I misread the quote from your post, my concentration was broken up. But that doesn't change what it says. The definition is quite clear that race and ethnicity are pretty much the same thing. and that was my point.I still do not agree that the author of the law is as important as what the law says. The motivation for the law is obvious, it is an attempt to curtail illegal immigrants in the State of Az. The law creating more problems than it solves is an opinion not fact, in time we will see. The SCotUS will (hopefully) decide on the constitutionality of this law. If they hear the case and rule as unconstitutional, I predict it will not be on the grounds of racism in the application of the law. Again, we will see.If I have to support the UN to get a free meal anywhere, I'll go hungry that night. There are other ways to find out what the laws are of other countries, what my rights are there and what hoops I have to jump through to be there.   [FONT=&quot]Because [FONT=&quot]“Discrimination against illegals from Mexico is not racism[/FONT][FONT=&quot].” is an absurd thought. But the debate for your new sentence is still open in this thread.  [/FONT]As I said before, I don't feel discrimination is right even though it is not always based on race, but can be on several other aspects. The properly worded sentence is based on what I have read in SB1070. The law does not allow for profiling, i.e. pulling over someone because they appear to be of a specific race. The law does not allow the asking for proof of nationality(after the initial stop) if the subject has proper ID.It would be naive to believe that no profiling will occur(it already exists), there are bad apples in every barrel. That is an issue that will have to be addressed under the law as well. I do believe that the vast majority of law enforcement officers are fair and just in the way they conduct their jobs. I don't believe our Bill of Rights will be officially violated by the application of SB1070. We will see.[/FONT]</blockquote>
