'Discrimination' has been falsely compared to 'unreasonable hostility', but that's exactly what it can bring about.
One could say that if you didn't discriminate against a hostile person or something of that sort, and you treated him the same (equally) with another who's nice, you'd be kind. But that's only a half truth. It leaves out that you would also not treat the nice person like he deserved (nicely). You'd most probably picky a middle road for both or maybe suppress your emotions so as to appear 'neutral'.
That can allow those who truly intend to harm to be treated 'nicely' and those who don't to be suspected or even be harmed for nothing.
In a perfect world all people would be judged based on the content of their character in a way that is 100% fair. In a imperfect way people still have reputations. Capitalism is just a system to manage resources among imperfect people based on the overall value they create for society.
People tend to have a basic level of respect when they meet a stranger based on first impressions. Then that level of respect increases or decreases as people get to know each other. This is the reason not everyone is best friends. If someone is hostile their reputation in the community will drop (over time) as people get to know them.
From a business point of view, most businesses just care that you have currency, be somewhat respectful and reasonable. As people interact with each other they tend to get a long more often than not. Free markets bring people together for economic reasons.
