And yeah, it makes no difference, as I said so myself, in terms of how wrong it is to discriminate someone based on their religious beliefs. It's just a huge pet peeve of mine when people refer to Muslim as a race. Just sounds ignorant and very typical American.

No, it doesn't sound ignorant because the same sentiment is behind it. Regardless if someone hates muslims, jews, Mexicans or cyclists. It's always the same primitive instinct of hating the other. That's not a pet peeve -pardon my french - that's mirror jerking over semantics.

I didn't realize it was also politically incorrect to point out that Muslim is a religion not a race, but not surprised I guess. I won't do it anymore.

Then you will be perfectly fine in president elect's new republic, since he promised to end political correctness.
