75. its possible for discrimination to happen to anyone
discrimination is not the same as racism. I can discriminate to pick wheat bread over rye. It depends on why Ive chosen one or the other. Im assuming you mean racial discrimination. Its never right, however the vast majority of racial discrimination affects minority populations. Same with sex. I can pick a man over a woman to hire on the basis of sex and it would be wrong. And Vice Versa.
