I dislike the concept of 'discrimination' for several reasons. 1: It gives the impression that merely perceiving difference is the problem. Discrimination simply means being able to distinguish between different things. The problem with racism is not that people are not color-blind. As many colored people who grew up in a white world will tell you, it can be very alienating to perceive your own difference in the mirror, but everyone around you pretends the difference is not there.
