Is geographical discrimination illegal?

Geographical discrimination is not illegal.

Regional discrimination is different from racial discrimination. Regional discrimination is "different treatment" and has nothing to do with race.

Regional discrimination is a kind of "differential treatment" based on regional differences.

It is caused by regional cultural differences, unbalanced economic development and human psychological activities.

Regional discrimination is the reflection of "social stereotype" and the result of herd mentality and collective unconsciousness.

Regional discrimination is not conducive to building a fair and just harmonious society. Regional discrimination violates the basic norms of fairness and justice and is unfair to those who are discriminated against and lack justice.
