Dicrimination is a Virtue

Robert Miller's "Discrimination Is a Virture" discusses how meaning of the word 'discrimination' has changed over the last 30 years and how it is now being used. The word actually means "the ability to tell difference" and not "racism" as many of us believe. Miller's idea about discrimination definately applies to the current presidential race since two of the Democratic nominees are considered to be "minorities." Hilary Clinton being female and Barack Obama a African American male. When deciding who to vote for, Americans cannot discriminate between these two nominees based on their gender or race. They need to look at the issue at hand and actually listen to what each nominee is saying then they can make their decision on who to choose.
