Miss Mango offers an interesting perspective. One must have discriminated to form a preference.

When all colors are available to me, why would I choose purple over green? I made a conscious decision to prefer one over the other, based on a prejudice which would be based on my experience, or a discriminatory practice.

I don't necessarily agree about harm being a prerequisite for discrimination. If I choose green over purple because of impressions I've formed, how am I hurting the other?
