I can't get into the 2nd grade at the elementary school down the street. I can't collect Social Security payments. I can't rent a car from Enterprise. I can't run for Senator. Sounds like age discrimination to me.

I can't get into Curves, a health club only for women. Birth control isn't covered by my insurance. Planned Parenthood doesn't give a [censored] about males. Sounds like sex discrimination to me.

I won't get into college if the university at which I'm applying needs to fill it's racial quotas, and there are black people less qualified than me that also want to get in. I don't get respect on the basketball court because of my color. Sounds like race discrimination to me.

Discrimination is acceptable if placed in proper context (I don't consider AA acceptable -- I'll leave it at that). Sometimes, it just makes sense. If you consider the preservation of the most basic and ancient human social construct to be discrimination, so be it. I don't. I consider it common sense.
