I didn't ask google - I looked it up in the M-W dictionary:

1 : prejudice or discrimination based on sex

... and "discrimination" is what the op expressed. It is a synonym for "distinction":

Discrimination: 2 : the quality or power of finely distinguishing

Discrimination is not necessarily negative - I suspect you hold many discriminating views on all number of topics be they wine, television shows, musical groups, etc. I personally hope to continue to become more and more discriminating as I learn and grow.



That's a real stretch...

Can you find a non-negative definition for prejudice?
