Race
includes
(a)colour;
(b)nationality;
(c)ethnic
or national origins.
In relation to the
protected characteristic of race—
(a)a reference to a
person who has a particular protected characteristic is a reference
to a person of a particular racial group;
b)a
reference to persons who share a protected characteristic is a
reference to persons of the same racial group.
A racial group is a group
of persons defined by reference to race; and a reference to a
person's racial group is a reference to a racial group into which
the person falls.
The fact that a racial group
comprises two or more distinct racial groups does not prevent it
from constituting a particular racial group.

(b)amend
this Act so as to provide for an exception to a provision of this
