Discrimination against discrimination is lawful. That is, you look down on people who look down on other people, ie) You cannot put up a sign saying "Black/asian people not allowed" outside your pub, but you can put up a sign saying "Racists not allowed".

Discrimination can be lawful in limited circumstances where there is a genuine occupational qualification or legitimate business necessity that requires the discriminatory practice. For example, certain jobs may have specific physical requirements that justify discrimination based on age or gender. However, these situations are subject to legal scrutiny to ensure they comply with anti-discrimination laws.
