How do you identify discrimination that undermines equality and diversity?
Two students want to attend the science fair. Both have straight A's in science. Both work hard. However, one is a new immigrant from Vietnam and speaks broken English. The other student was raised locally and is popular in the small town. Teachers construct a story as to why the Vietnamese student cannot attend the fair. However, the story is untrue; the teachers just tried to find a loophole to disqualify him so the other student could attend. That is a subtle form of discrimination. It relies on hoping the other person does not know or recognize the deception. Both students should go. Or a fair way should be used to decide who can go.
