It is a legal term. I discriminate when I choose the restaurant that is clean over the one with bugs. I discriminate when I choose a mate that I am attracted to over the one with buck teeth. I discriminate when I decide to promote an individual because they are pleasant, hard working, and showed initiative over the one who comes in late and leaves early.. It is discrimination when they don't let criminals or the severely mentally ill get a gun license. It is called having standards. It isn't unethical.
Not all discrimination is wrong and most isn't illegal for obvious reasons.
I have no issue weeding out people based on behavior, past behavior, and how they decide to present themselves.
Clearly, though discrimination on the basis of things you cannot control(race, creed, color, sex, age) and that have zero bearing on your abilities should be wrong.
