@ShaunBurch it depends on the circumstances, what the nature of the discrimination is, but very often--maybe even overwhelmingly often--it is absolutely ethical to be discriminatory.

Let the ambulance go first, discriminating in favor of medical care.

Let the starving person get first shot at the food aid, discriminating against the folks who are already fed.

And on and on.

Discrimination is only a tool, a way of treating different people differently, which is SO OFTEN entirely ethical and appropriate, even if in other cases it's not.

All too often people throw out the tool instead of looking at how it's being used.
