This editorial about discrimination was written back in 2006 but it's still relevant for today. In the name of fighting "discrimination", our society seems determined to make us as indiscriminate and undiscerning as possible. I'm not a Christopher Hitchens fan but I love this quote of his-
"It especially annoys me when racists are accused of 'discrimination.' The ability to discriminate is a precious facility; by judging all members of one 'race' to be the same, the racist precisely shows himself incapable of discrimination."

Despite the fact that some have tried to change the meaning of the word to suit their own purposes discrimination is a must if one is to survive in this world. It is not an option.

Discrimination is simply the act of choice. Walter is spot on.
The word "discriminating" used to be complement.
Someone with impeccable taste would be described as being "very discriminating" imply they knew and appreciated fine things.

Heck if I know. You look at obozo and state the obvious “he’s black” and you’re called a racist.
