If they discovered that for some reason Orientals are higher auto-insurance risks, they would probably like to classify rates in accordance, but public backlash against "racism" would probably prevent it. So if Mormons show real differences, then they would no doubt like to charge different premiums. But it is not profitable to have different rates for every possible division -- just those that show major trends -- such as sex. Carlo @ the U of Waterloo
