In the truest sense of the process, an interview and hiring/not hiring decision IS discrimination. You are selecting for traits you (in theory) want, and (in theory) rejecting traits you don't want. Well, you are doing it if your interviewing process is not broken.

If you simply try to elide all bias, then you would never be able to make a decision.




Some types of discrimination (in the basest sense of the word) are illegal and others aren't, though.
