You can discriminate, individually, against any It's not one person or groupdiscriminating at this point, if you're but a whole population operating in a position of power over the social structure that actually makes it difficult for a person you want not to discriminate against. White people can discriminate against black people, and black people can discriminate against white people if, for example, one is the interviewer and the other is the person being interviewed.
