Isn't there some value in having terms that differentiate between policies design to hurt a given race and policies that hurt a given race as a by product? To me it seems similar to the difference between murder and manslaughter. Intent seems to make the crime more morally wrong. Neither are good but they are seen as very different things. Perhaps my understanding of the word is wrong but if it is I feel that English is missing the ability to express an important nuance if that's the case.
