Re: Positive Discrimination
Interesting point munch, but I do not really think your examples made clear the positive aspect of it.
Another potential route might be to discuss the classification of things. All the way back to the first few life forms distinguishing between ouch and not ouch, the ability to identify and attribute meaning to things, to "discriminate" between them is very beneficial. This is easily noticable when discriminating between food choices as something potentially poisonous or something potentially healthy.
This is a bit more abstract, however, from the discrimination being discussed here, but is worthy of discussion all the same.
It's when discrimination is done with no real information about the object of discrimination that it causes problems. To believe that one can be pidgeon holed by their appearance, their gender, their religion, their location, the car the drive or the shirt they wear or the food they eat... that's just wrong.
We'll always have more in common than we have different.
