You say this like it's a meaningful distinction?
It's a massive distinction. I live in Germany and if the government said I couldn't have a job because of my race or ethnicity I think that would be majorly problematic.

Surely it is? It would be a very different policy to say "anyone vaguely asian is banned from the lab, even if they're an American citizen"
