"Action based on prejudice or racist beliefs that results in unfair treatment of individuals or groups; unjust conditions in areas such as employment, housing and education." - Museum of Tolerance Urban Dictionary

Etymological definition: To note or perceive differences between things. (Strictly speaking "discrimination" makes no mention of race, gender, nor disability; nor does it make mention of placing one thing at a disadvantage to another.) White Unicorn definition: Any policy that treats people equally regardless of race, gender, or disability. Real world definition: Any policy that doesn't place white males at an extreme unfair disadvantage. Equivalently, any policy that doesn't specifically mention race and gender in the context of "protected minorities receive X benefits", where X is greater than those received by white males. In the real world, any policy based strictly on academic merit, financial status, or any other non-race based trait, even those claimed by tolerance experts to not be correlated to race, is discriminatory unless it specifically allots a handicap to women and non-whites. Urban Dictionary

The act of observing the differences and making distinctions between multiple objects, groups, people, ect. Urban Dictionary

Anything unjust or unfair Urban Dictionary

The denial of opportunities and equal rights to individuals and groups because of prejudice or for other arbitrary reasons. Urban Dictionary
