So what if a pale faced American of French ancestry beats up a pale faced American of German ancestry? Considering the history of war and violence between France and Germany, this should be dealt with very harshly.

What if an American of Haitian ancestry beats up an American of Jamaican ancestry?

How about if an American of Mexican ancestry beats up an American of Honduran ancestry?

Or maybe an American of Indian (Hindi [New Delhi area]) ancestry clobbering an American of Indian (Dravidian [southern India area]) ancestry?

What if old Viking era rivalries pop back up and an American of Norwegian ancestry pummels an American of Anglo-English ancestry?

The possibilities are endless. Government is just going to implement another mindless law and the lawyers will get rich off of it while the citizens of this country continue to get more and more divided.

My surname is an English one but is apparently of Norman origin which means I descend from Vikings, what if I beat myself up? What if I raid my house and carry off my wife? What if I force myself to pay Danegeld?

The possibilities are endless...

You miss the point...The law does not apply to "minorities", it applies to "protected minorities." The possibilities do end...and they end way short of you and me!
