Discrimination takes place frequently.
The definition of discrimination and the definition of prejudices are different although some do not regard them as different. Discrimination refers to acts taken against people of maybe a different race or class. Prejudices are the negative feelings toward other races. People of certain races feel that they are superior to those of other races. These feelings evolved from the 1700's and 1800's.
