Search the word “discrimination” online and you’re served these headlines: “Council votes 7-1 to ban discrimination …,” “Jim Calhoun named in sex discrimination …,” “Elizabeth Warren, pregnancy discrimination …” There are many more.
It is axiomatic that we hate discrimination today, or are supposed to. In arguments, you’ve probably had your antagonist turn on you, saying, “That’s discrimination!” This tedious accusation is delivered as though it were the sharpest of debating points, the ne plus ultra of political dispute after which no further discussion or disagreement is possible.
