If you are among the richest 2% of the world, do you have to hang in the slums to prove you are not discriminating?
I don't hate all poor people because they are poor. I know a few, I won't pretend it is many, people who are impoverished because of a stupid choice or two they made in life. I don't want to join them. Is that discrimination? I don't think so.
As I said earlier, there is nothing inherently wrong with discrimination. It's a human faculty that we utilize every time we make a decision; however, If one discriminates against other people on the basis of universal generalizations then there's a problem.
Please don't get me started on the Kennedy's. My mind is in a pleasant state and I prefer to keep it that way.
