Discrimination and bias are different in that discrimination is generally based on some arbitrary criteria such as race, gender, or religion, while bias reflects a personal inclination that is not necessarily based on a specific quality. Discrimination is illegal, while bias cannot always be helped and it is often part of the human experience.

Discrimination and bias are not mutually exclusive, as both involve favoring or disadvantaging a certain group of people. Discrimination is an active decision to treated unequally due to race, gender, sexual orientation or another factor. Bias often appears without conscious awareness and happens when someone favors a particular group based on past experiences or assumptions without considering other facts. Bias can also occur because a person simply does not have enough exposure to different cultures and identities.
