∙ 12y agoThere is only one basic meaning of discrimination, making a distinction or judgment in favor of or against something or someone.
There are endless types of discrimination such as what is the best type of wine or the worst neighborhood to live in, to where a given group of people come from to what profession a person may be engaged in. You will note that I did not use the usual hot button examples of discrimination, I'm sure that you know the ones that are predominant where ever you are. I used these examples because I wanted to illustrate how broad a spectrum that the word actually includes.
