If the redneck is bent on discriminating on the basis of skin color he could circumvent a future arrest with a tactical reason to not rent. People may not openly discriminate because of fear of being sued but that does nothing to change their internal real selves, which is what needs to change even though that is slow change, harder to achieve and probably impossible and crazy to expect 6 billion "perfect" people. Whether discrimination is based on religion, skin colour, one's singular status, gender, nationality, or any other criteria, its still discrimination. Degrees and hurt levels do vary but there is nothing nice about being on the receiving end. Its equally unfair to label an entire Gujarati community as evil for the actions of a few when language is still the link between a Gujarati Hindu and a Gujarati Bohra. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohra -- .
