![Domanic makes no serious effort on appeal to show any error in the district court’s ruling. That is unsurprising. As discussed, the evidence proved without contradiction that Christian Brothers has a longstanding and consistent policy of franchising only to professing Christians. And no evidence suggested that this policy was a pretext for racial discrimination against persons of Jewish ancestry (or any other ancestry). To the contrary, the undisputed evidence showed that Christian Brothers has franchised to two ethnic Jews who are professing Christians. Domanic does make the novel argument that, as far as § 1981 is concerned, there can be no distinction between discrimination based on Jewish ancestry and discrimination based on Jewish faith. Section 1981, he contends, “protect[s] Jews . . . regardless of whether they are religious or ethnic Jews.” The district court correctly rejected this argument.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreid6lfptbj6ax3kdpjpbu2mnwsoedrp6mj54gjy5uymruecn5gvhjm)
