As far as I can determine, I have the right to have prejudices and the right to opine...strongly if I choose.
Then we agree to disagree about discrimination. So be it.
However we do agree on the point that there are people more deserving of the Award than Jenner.
And that is the subject of this thread.

Wikipedia doesn't agree with your definition of discrimination:
"Discrimination is treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit .... Not all discrimination is based on prejudice".
I'm not a goody two-shoes, but I think discrimination or prejudice or bigotry is wrong, and you think prejudice is OK.
No
t everyone has the same point of view. Peace.
