Neat.Links do not make things real or not.
The basis of understanding law is not going to be found in links, partially because it is an abstraction not universally agreed upon, but also because lawyers, legislators, politicians, etc., work hard at pretending that laws instead is whatever arbitrary edict they want to impose.
Go back to the Founders.
They explain it fairly well.
They were faced with legislation from the current government in England, they felt was inherently unfair, like "taxation without representation".
They concluded then that what is legal actually depends on ethics, basic legal principles, like the defense of inherent rights of individuals, etc., and NOT on arbitrary legislation or government edicts.
So when you look at what discrimination, it is the deliberate harming of the inherent rights of someone else, (their rights being life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.)
That then by definition is obviously inherently illegal.
The only exception would be if the discrimination was somehow necessary in order to enhance or protect the rights of an even larger group, like a strike, protest, etc.
Why are you saying this NOW in response to a post of mine that was over a year and a half ago?
