elie: common usage isnt necessarily correct usage. The word MEANS discrimination based on RACE. The technicality is important, and people should be aware.

Can you read?

Again:

2 a : a family, tribe, people, or nation belonging to the same stock b : a class or kind of people unified by shared interests, habits, or characteristics

It seems to me that a shared faith is ecompassed by "a class or kind of people unified by shared interests, habits, or characteristics" -- but you just cannot ever see anything that is obvious can ya.
