It is absolutely not that simple, nor do you seem to even understand the legal definitions of discrimination against individuals. Prohibiting skydiving doesn't discriminate against skydivers. Prohibiting human sacrifice doesn't discriminate against cultists from R'lyeh.
For further reading, I recommend you start with a textbook on constitutional law, or at least this: Levels of Scrutiny Under the Equal Protection Clause. After that, at least try to get through the wikipedia pages on the three levels of scrutiny. Surely this will aid you in your endeavor to get through law school in only two years, rather than three.
You don't seem to understand the difference between rules, regulations and standards...
Hell it was once a standard that blacks drink out of their own drinking fountains...... That was discrimination via Law/government, just as it is discrimination telling smokers they cant smoke x,y or z...... Discrimination is singling out a specific group...
Treating individuals as second class citizens for a trait or aesthetic reasons is discrimination...
Now if private business owners want to make their own rules that is fine but for the state to legislate laws that discriminate against individuals - yea well that is wrong - that is Jim Crow.
