you don’t have to define every race to make race a protected class- you just have to define what ‘race’ is. all ‘protected class’ means is that It’s a group of people that have protections against discrimination.

For example, if a black person gets a parking ticket, sure it could be that the officer was a racist fuck. but that’s irrelevant if they can show the black person didn’t pay for parking. (you might try to make an argument saying ‘well they don’t ticket white people’, but good luck proving that in court.)

protected classes at the us federal level include:

• Race
• Sex
• Age
• Disability
• National Origin
• Religion
• Genetic Information*___*
