What you say may be quite true of Florida, or of this
one county in Florida, but does not represent MC in
Europe (where it concerns mainly race/colour) or
Britain (where it concerns mainly religion) or Canada
(where it concerns immigrant's rights in the local
context.)  I.e. it means different things to different
people, e.g. British MP Jack Straw at his constituency
office, "racial profiling" at international air****ts, or
hospital money spent on interpreters for patients who
speak no local language.
