Discrimination based on one's intelligence, athleticism or beauty...
... is just shallow? :-)
Or did you mean discrimination based on definition 2 below?
Dictionary.com defines discrimination as:
1) The act of discriminating.
2) The ability or power to see or make fine distinctions; discernment.
3) Treatment or consideration based on class or category rather than
individual merit; partiality or prejudice: racial discrimination; discrimination
against foreigners.
If you hire someone because they are smart, and you need someone smart
in the position you are hiring for, is it discrimination? By definition 2, maybe.
By definition 3, I would argue it is not. You are simply hiring someone based
on their individual merit and how well they would fit the job. That would not
be definition 3 discrimination. The same would hold for hiring someone
beautiful to be a model or hiring someone athletic to play for your sports team.
