Typically "discrimination" (when dealing with people) implies prejudice towards a group or class of people, not specific individuals. So if Chris and Sam are equally qualified or deserving, but Chris gets preferential treatment, it would only be considered discriminatory if it can be shown that the preference is based on Chris and Sam belonging to different classes of people based on race, religion, gender, etc.
