Very true! perhaps we shouldnt be specific? Perhaps it is covered in the
"any other way discriminatory or oppressive" bit, and so doesnt need a
specific mention? Otherwise we may have to qualify the section for every
ethnicity, just to be fair!

Interestingly, the term Semite technically covers arabs as well. A
Semite is "a member of any of a number of peoples of ancient
southwestern Asia including the Akkadians, Phoenicians, Hebrews, and
Arabs" (wiktionary); however anti-Semitic refers only to discrimination
against Jews.
