How can you identify discrimination?

Discrimination is when one person is treated differently from another in the same circumstances. However, the person doing the discrimination has to have power of some sort over the one receiving the difference in treatment. A customer can ask another person to leave a store, but that is not discrimination as they have no right to do so and no authority to enforce it. Of course, there are legal and illegal forms of discrimination. For instance, if you own a store and you have a customer who is drunk, knocking things over, and maybe harassing customers, it is legal to make them leave, because that is based on behavior as well as the comfort and safety of other customers. However, you likely cannot ask them to leave based on race, color, nationality or religion.
