recognize a distinction; differentiate. "babies can discriminate between different facial expressions of emotion" synonyms: differentiate, distinguish, draw/recognize a distinction, tell the difference, discern a difference; More 2. make an unjust or prejudicial distinction in the treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, sex, or age. "existing employment policies discriminate against women" synonyms: be biased, show prejudice, be prejudiced; More I contend that when people use the word discrimination, 9 times out of 10, #2 is what is meant/implied/inferred. We might as well argue about the definition of 'meritocracy'... oops. Bad idea. :)
