I was being pedantic and/or facetious - as you say, many things are discriminatory, in that they choose one thing over another! The decision to accept credit cards discriminates against those who do not have credit cards, but Amazon are perfectly entitled so to do.

Where it is wrong is when that discrimination is legally unfair. Sometimes it is just life!
