Every job interview involves discrimination based on appearance. That has been true and legal forever.

Nothing says you have to hire somebody for a job, only that you can't refuse to hire them based on certain criteria, if they meet all other standards for the position.

And all things being equal, only one person is hired for each job when there are typically many applicants. Inevitably that final cut will depend on some subjective criteria.

Discrimination laws are aimed at level playing fields before that final cut.
