Yeah, you would need more than just ethnicity. You can read the Justice's examples directly in the case. Being or looking Mexican on a parking lot may be enough to justify a Kavanaugh stop, but just being Mexican or looking Mexican on it's own is not enough.

"Parking while looking Mexican."

"Looking Mexican in LA."

Well since I can do all of those things without being stopped due to my race, it appears that being Mexican would be the sole determining reason
