Discrimination is usually defined as unjustified unequal treatment on grounds of social group membership. It constitutes a moral wrong and is combatted with legal means such as US Civil Rights Act\, or the German General Law for Equal Treatment. Philosophically\, the concept raises many puzzles. How can we identify salient group-membership? Does discrimantion consist of acts\, attitudes\, or policies? And according to which standard should the unequal treatment be measured? Settling those questions might provide political orientation alongside conceptual clarity.
