Fabulista Questions: Race = Religion?

My counterpart living in a sunny island, set in the sea recently told me about a controversial, fanatic headmaster who banned all non-halal food from his school's canteen. This was his rationale:
"We decided to make the whole canteen halal to provide a common eating space for all our children, whatever their race," Imran (the headmaster) told the newspaper.

But what I'd like to know is, since when was one's ethnicity the same as one's faith? Since I worship LV and the Prada, does that make me French? Or Italian? And for that matter, is being French (or Italian) an ethnicity or a faith?

Or am I just a Beautician?
