The common understanding (disregarding ideologues) of "discrimination" is still not a pedantic dictionary definition (which applies broadly to situations that don't even involve human interaction) is as given on Wikipedia (they do sometimes get politically charged ideas correct):
> Discrimination is the process of making unfair or prejudicial distinctions between people based on the groups, classes, or other categories to which they belong or are perceived to belong,[1] such as race, gender, age, class, religion, or sexual orientation.[2] Discrimination typically leads to groups being unfairly treated on the basis of perceived statuses based on ethnic, racial, gender or religious categories.[2][3] It involves depriving members of one group of opportunities or privileges that are available to members of another group.[4]
The point is that we are interested in the cases deemed unfair.
The problem is that people have wildly different ideas of what is fair.
Just let people do what they want. If they want to pay premia for free association let them and if you think they're abusing it, hey that's arbitrage (ie free money) for you to take from them.
The more you worry about that and force people to do things they don't want to the more everyone pulls away from public socialization and the less there is for desperate people in general.
