But the judge said language and ethnic origin are connected so he lost. 

We paint our apartment buildings every 3 to 4 years, but we have to paint many walls every year because there is a specific ethnic group (won't say) who for some reason blows their snots on the walls and it is some real loose juice that runs about 18 inches down the wall.

Maybe they don’t have the money, time or knowledge about how to get started, they’re from a different social status or ethnic background, or they’ve faced some other difficult life event.

ethnic oriented, due to its very nature (and we have tons of that here in So Cal)3. 7-Eleven anchored (single tenant), as I don't see the convenience store going away.

It knows no sectional boundaries or ethnic and racial divisions, and it crosses political party lines.

In most of the central phoenix neighborhoods where its primarily Hispanic, you'll find longer term tenants who keep the house,lawn and minor repairs in better shape than most, if not all other ethnic background residents.

I don't mean by race or ethnicity but:If someone shows up to apply covered with tattoos or wearing those pants that hang below the butt, is that enough legally allowable to screen them out?

For ethnic neighborhoods, look in the yellow pages and see where the ethnic grocery stores are located and drive around and see what sort of signs are in the business windows.If you want a luxury house, check out the places that are high rent.

What their preference could be and I mean, social status, ethnic background, etc.

That's one of those 'cultural norms' that can extend to geographical locations AND ethnic groups.@ Todd.
