That's Romanians, but ok. I see what you're doing and it's kind of sad that I have to repeat myself. Nationality or race isn't the same thing as religion. Nationality you're born to and can, at least partially, change over time in some cases, and isn't necessarily morally implicating. Race is simply something that stays with you forever no matter what you do, and is the least relevant of the three in evaluating a person's morality, obviously. Religion, sure, you're born and conditioned into, to varying degrees, and is in some cases tragically binding, and yet one doesn't simply turn the left cheek to an aggressor who could be personally absolved of any wrongdoing through one rationalization or another, to use an unfortunate analogy. One defends himself as best he can, but leaving the most damaging means of defence, of course, only for those occasions where all else has failed. Also, lack of free will notwithstanding, religion is, in a sense, the one characteristic of the three that is ultimately controlled by its subject. That is, while things like citizenship, race, sex, age and ethnicity aren't exactly things you can fault someone for or even find fault with, ideas can be, and as such should be sought out and properly scrutinized in certain situations(E.g. when state security is at stake).
