Add the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) to the list of discriminatory groups.
Add section with statistics
Add section on discrimination against people with mental disabilities
Replace "Citation Needed" tags in the Religious and the Language discrimination sections with sources so that content can be
verified.
Add section on antisemitism
Add a realistic section on sex and gender discrimination- gender discrimination is not just a benign social concept, nor limited to glass ceilings. This discrimination is also focused on specific groups: women and people displaying gender characteristics not considered appropriate or “natural” in their respective contexts. There is no “natural” basis for such beliefs; discrimination is based on power struggles.

"Bigotry" vs. "discrimination"
"
Bigotry" currently redirects to this article. Isn't "bigotry" a synonym of "
prejudice" instead of "discrimination?"

Prejudice is a much better target than this article.

The redirect target was moved from Prejudice in 2022 by
user:Altanner1991 with the summary "Discrimination would be a much better redirect: it is a stronger term and more closely aligns with the concept as a synonym". I don't agree with the rationale behind that summary and move.

You are correct. It is closer to prejudice. Thank you for the correction and I offer my apologies.

Whatever bigotry truly is, it results in an (arrogant) expression of intolerance.
Prejudice is habitually making judgement on a subject before accumulating relevant knowledge.
Neither of these terms are synonymous.
Unlike the other two terms which come about from flaws, discrimination is actually used to refer to an imperative and generally healthy aspect of humanity as we know it. In general, discrimination should not be conflated with judgement.
This article is specifically about "prejudicial treatment", or treatment arising from discrimination of ideas about how someone 'ought' to be treated within your worldview, without striving to be respectful of reality and later discriminating based upon an accurate perception of reality.
There is no exact word in common use for "poor discrimination" that I know of, so it typically requires the addition of another word for more specific meaning - Ex: "Racial Discrimination". It may also make sense in highly suggestive context, such as topical discussion of civil rights violations (United States) but again, the introductory understanding of context for the situation arises from written language such as 'discrimination on the basis of'. This includes discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age, and so forth.

Wiki Education assignment: Introduction to Community Economic and Social Development II
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 9 January 2024 and 12 April 2024. Further details are available
on the course page. Peer reviewers:

The current lists of examples are groups that are widely accepted as being valid, while still facing significant prejudice. Should it also include groups that are less well accepted and have a stigma associated with them? Or is this something that can only be evaluated if/when they are accepted. For example, if one openly admits to being a Nazi, one may find that they would receive some unfavorable treatment, even if they did nothing that would be in line with what the group they identify with is known for. I was unable to find a discrimination test one could use to evaluate if an action against a group qualifies. While creating categorization theories is beyond the scope of Wikipedia, I would think a minimally sufficient test to include something along the lines of "One who would receive unfavorable treatment if but for the group they associates if the group has open association."
I think the current list of examples is bias towards non-extreme progressive movements. Giving the indication that the term is in line with their views. Or if the term is on its face is a progressive movement associated term it should be stated as such.

Attestation in
reliable sources is the criteria for being weighed into an article to achieve
neutral point of view Please provide reliable sources for inclusion or to support your position, because neutral point of view is not "no point of view".

I guess the issue is that conservate groups by their nature of resisting change, any group would need to be one that previously was accepted, but not anymore. Those groups are usually a subclass of one of the currently listed ones, which hides them from observation of the reader.
