Definitions of words are a) subjective b) tools for communication and c) political. I think my definition of discrimination is better, because there's no objective definition of 'good discrimination' versus 'bad discrimination'. Defining discrimination to only mean 'bad discrimination' is then futile, and doesn't really help with communication. In fact, those endless debates of what is and what is not discrimination would be replaced with slightly more constructive debates of where discrimination might be justified and where not.
