Everybody who hires one person and doesn't hire the three others who applied is differentiating. Or discriminating, if you prefer.

Am I discriminated against because I'm not allowed to sign up for military duty and benefits because of myage? Is the government working against me? Is the government working against me when it won't let me be a commercial pilot because my uncorrected eyesight is bad? Is the government working against me when it won't let me be a firefighter because I am in a wheelchair and can't lift a hose off the ground? Is a state university working against me when it won't hire me as a professor of English because I have a mental deficiency that makes it impossible for me to read and write above a third grade level?

Under your argument, I think, in all these cases the government actively is working against me. Locking me out, in your phrase.

Personally, I don't take that approach.
