As long as someone finds it necessary to discriminate between any humans (for example “Afroamerican”, “Asian”, “Hispanic”, “White”), instead of treating them all as humans, you will not get rid of discrimination, because by definition, to start naming groups is to discriminate. The very verb to discriminate is a synonym for distinguish.
- icebraining 8y agoDiscriminate is used with multiple definitions; here it's being used as a synonym for "discriminate against".
- b6 8y agoIs it possible to only discriminate in favor of some group without discriminating against some other group?
- icebraining 8y agoNo, but it's possible to discriminate without being in favor or against, if you use the definition given by Annatar (ie, distinguish).
- Annatar 8y agoThat doesn’t change or invalidate what I wrote: to discriminate against still means to distinguish. Simply grouping humans is already going too far in discriminating against them, no matter the conotation.
