The self-identification requirement entered law via ‘ethnic’, not via race itself

Evidence

Notably, none of the cited dictionary meanings the Judge refers to required group members to have a ‘shared belief’ in their own collective identity as a key element of the popular meaning of race but this belief or selfidentification requirement becomes a key element of the meaning of ‘ethnic’ for the purpose of racial discrimination law. — Mareike Riedel, Islamophobia, Racial Discrimination…, 36
