Plus in that situation it would be a racial minority being knuckled under by the big bad government. You hate all those guys so no biggie to you.

Irrelevant...
It can and has happened in very disparate situations across the globe and throughout history.

you keep bringing up racial or religious "cleansings"
do you expect the catholics to rise up and wipe out the protestants in the US?

Not sure about you, but I don't want all my personal information available to the highest bidder when the data is stolen (sold) to another gov't or group. Most people probably have no idea how many times gov't databases have been broken into. How many different security systems in this county alone work based off of finger prints? Would suck to work in a secure area that requires fingerprint access to find that data has been stolen and its your ass because someone managed to get a hold of them from a "secure" gov't database and use them.
All your personal information is already out there and easily stolen. I'm all for advancing technology and having private proper use of information, in a well regulated manner.
What I personally do not want is any more federal intervention, databases, or repositories of information that make the founding fathers roll over in their graves.
I wonder how long before we're stopped on the street or road and asked: "Papers please". That's not a far cry from fingerprinting people like criminals who are simply traveling.
