I suspect it's about the legal definition of "discriminate". You may have to show some specific practical disadvantage caused by it. That doesn't necessarily mean there isn't a groovy lawsuit waiting to happen, though.

Tangentially, I would really enjoy it if there were some legal route to force hatemongers (or any other kind of dumbmongers) to provide evidence for their claims, failing which they'd be officially labelled as rubbish. I know, sounds a lot like science, and the idea that that should form the basis for public policy is of course hopeless fantasy.
