Discrimination is far more nuanced than it first appears.
We accept that younger drivers pay more for car insurance. And that disabled people pay more for their health insurance. And that the government (in the UK) has a special business grants scheme for ethnic minority entrepreneurs.
Obviously discrimination depends on context. If a car insurance firm had a special policy for ethnic minorities, people would (rightly) be outraged. But in the context of a government intervention, based on the evidenced disadvantages that ethnic minorities face, discrimination is accepted.
