    origin cannot and should not attempt to treat others 
    without respect to race, color, sex, or national 
    origin.

      (E) An individual, by virtue of his or her race,

    members of a particular race, color, sex, or national 
    origin to oppress members of another race, color, sex, 
    or national origin.

(5) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as compelling any individual to believe or refrain from believing in any politically-based concept referred to in paragraph (4) in their private and personal capacity.''.
