If you have tattoos, it is your choice.

If you have dark skin, it is by birth.

Indeed, this is the logic of the xenophobe.

I don't like how you look, dress, speak: it's an affront to my rights.

I don't think he's meaning cultural tattoos, I think he means those weird people who intentionally disfigure themselves thinking it's "cool" instead of a cry for help. Or 'devoted' gang members.

Your rights?

While I admire its intent, I strongly disagree with the federal US Civil Rights of 1964.

This US federal act attempted to control private interactions.

If I refuse to marry a person of a different race, it is my choice. As Pierre Trudeau famously said.

No one disputes your right not to get a tattoo.

This is my thinking.

A person cannot choose their skin colour. By birth, some people are left-handed, others right-handed. This is something they cannot change. It is difficult to learn a new language, almost impossible to lose an accent.

The State should be indifferent to such.

But if you choose to have a face tattoo - any tattoo - the State should identify you, and arrest you on this alone.
