The act say race,color, etc because this law is specific.

If we think this law is outdated and need to be expanded, there are due process to change the law. We don't extend law just because we feel right.

Actually, no. The courts frequently modify the interpretation of the law to adapt to a changing world. For example to handle new technology.

I agree we should change the law for the sake of clarity, but laws change how they work in practice due to legal decisions all the time.
