discrimination can be on advradge iteams, like choosing between coffe or tea.
but used against people negativley is where it causes problems...
it can be used to single people out, make them feel weird, or just not to like someone as they have a differant 'look' to you, differant befliefs, skin colour, hieght or anything along those lines or basises.
