That's a good point. I was using short hand to indicate that the descriptor at the front of the term is not always appropriate. Another example is people saying "reverse psychology." There's nothing reverse about it... it's all just psychology. Same with discrimination.
Discrimination is discrimination is discrimination. Separation of objects based on characteristics believed to be common among those objects.

Simply trying to guide you into becoming a better poster. One of the previous threads was closed due to lack of scientific input and general emotional ranting. The other thread I referenced remains open.
If the purpose of this thread is unique, please make more clear what the difference is. Otherwise, the moderators may join the two into one.
Cheers.
