It's the same reason we discriminate if someone is dressed slobbily, or has lots of piercings/tattoos. It's the image that society has constructed for you, and no matter your opinion on it, it's just something you have to live with.

There is a blue one who can't accept the green one
For living with a fat one trying to be a skinny one
And different strokes for different folks
There is a long hair that doesn't like the short hair
For bein' such a rich one that will not help the poor one
And different strokes for different folks
There is a yellow one that won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one that won't accept the white one
And different strokes for different folks
I am no better and neither are you
We got to live together
