Discrimination is usually miscatagorized simply by race and generally by black versus white. The problem is that virtually all groups are discriminated against in one way or another. The fact that there are more white people than black people and the fact that our history has a great deal of discrimination against blacks tilts the way society think about the entire discrimination topic. When any group claims they want equality but yet pushes for inequality using the same logic that you are thinking here, discrimination still exists but since it is against a white person it somehow is less wrong or not as bad.
Affirmative Action is discriminatory. While some justify the means to an end, it still is plainly discriminatory is that it elevates less qualified individuals BECAUSE of race, not in spite of it.
Wanting to get tougher on illegal aliens is not racist though it is virtually always displayed in that manner by the left who generally take their position based on cheaply winning votes. But because the majority of illegal aliens aren't white males, it somehow is racially tinted.
