First, nothing is necessarily wrong, as that would imply an absolute rather than relative morality. All morality is relativistic. Secondly, I would argue that your list, from my point of view, denoted 'racism, sexism, etc' is more rigorously defined as 'discriminating based on anything other than merit'. Given that assumption, discrimination by race or sex for any reason would be wrong. With those premises, I stand by my original conclusion that discrimination on the whole is wrong.
