That may be a way to respond to discrimination, but it's not a way to avoid it.

Discrimination, by its definition, refers to what happens after one's skills and qualifications are sufficient and comparable to other candidates, and yet other candidates are systematically shown preference.

Yup, I agree. I'm not disputing this fact, discrimination happens everywhere. I'm merely pointing out what I think we should do as individuals, because let's face it, legislation is not going to work (passing it is one major hurdle, implementation is another)
