When to use discrimination in Korean

When to use it

Discrimination (차별) means treating a person or group unfairly because they are different in some way, such as age, gender, disability, or where they come from. We use this word when someone does not get the same respect, chance, or service as others. It is often used in serious situations, so you may hear it in school rules, news stories, or important conversations.
