Why does discrimination happen?

Discrimination happens when we judge people or fellow students by their uniquenesses or specialities. sometimes it might happen that people of different race want different laws, or people of older age do not want to work with people of younger age. The main reason to discrimination happening is the jealousy of people. In instance if people in this world would not be jealous the Jim Crow laws would have never started.
