I don't see it as unfortunate. In fact, I see it as a good thing. I see it as a step on the road to a future where ethnicity and race makes as much difference as left- or right-handedness and preferred make of auto, if not less. It's a step towards harmony.
Also, it should be pointed out that "black" is a similar construct. How many flavors of sub-Saharan Africans are there, again?
