November 27, 200817 yr Author It's not like you can't go to Israel if you don't have Jewish 'blood' in you (blood being a nonsensical term to the best of my knowledge). It's just that if you do then you get fast tracked. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

November 27, 200817 yr 'Jewish' I think is unique in both designating a race of people, and a religion. Putting someone on the fast track for immigration for either reason is what would be called discrimination anywhere else. I don't think the Arab, or Christian Israelis care terribly much about avoiding these 'undesirable' non Jews, now do you. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
November 27, 200817 yr Author I don't see why, in the real world, as opposed to philosophy. Former Commonwealth people get preferential treatment in the UK process.

November 27, 200817 yr While I'm sure genetics has played a huge part in the discrimination people have faced throughout history based on their "race", I'm not sure what you're getting at. "Race" clearly means something in our society. We should just ignore this and make up our own definitions?

The example you gave is certainly discrimination, but asking if it's racial discrimination seems a tad ridiculous.
