I know all that.

It’s just that “Amish” and “Moslem” both refer to religious customs.

“Black” does not. Perhaps to be tongue-in-cheek these should be called “Asian” (PC - I prefer oriental or maybe be perfectly consistent and say yellow).

It just bugs me.

Especially with all the gallows humor using “Amish” following 9/11.

I think with respect to black/amish The religious part of Amish is not what is being referred to, but more the dichotomy between amish/ghetto culture
