Ah! Ha! This is the point. It should be okay to discriminate between A and B without discriminating against A or B. It's okay -- at least, it bloody well should be in any sane society -- to say "X is not Y" without implying or being supposed to be implying that X is better/worse than Y. That's not to say that all discrimination-between is value-free, but it can be, and I think that's being lost sight of. Of which. Yes.
