Discrimination is treating someone differently based on his/her membership in a “protected class.” Protected classes include race, color, creed, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, physical or mental disability, receipt of public assistance, and age. Even if an act is unfair or unreasonable, it may not be illegal unless it was carried out based on the victim’s membership in a protected class.
