You wouldn't incorporate all forms of race discrimination. You would set a single standard, and single principle, and that would be that race cannot be used under any circumstance by a government to make government decisions. That's what the 14th amendment is supposed to be about. The government (states or federal, under the 5th amendment) must not use its coercive power to discriminate against its citizens based on race.
