Proof Discrimination

The concrete, harmful application of Proof Bigotry in social, professional, or institutional settings. It occurs when individuals or groups are excluded, penalized, or discredited because their beliefs, practices, or identities cannot be “proven” according to standards set by those in power. Proof discrimination can look like denying religious accommodation because belief in God cannot be empirically demonstrated, dismissing indigenous land claims because they are based on oral tradition rather than written deeds, or refusing to hire someone whose spiritual practice is deemed “unscientific.” It uses the rhetoric of evidence to justify what is essentially persecution.

Example: “The university denied her request for a meditation space, citing ‘lack of evidence that meditation has measurable benefits’—proof discrimination, using evidentiary standards to deny religious accommodation.”

Discriminatory Proof Bias

The institutional and interpersonal application of proof bias to exclude, disadvantage, or harm individuals or groups. Discriminatory proof bias occurs when organizations require forms of evidence that are structurally harder for some groups to produce—e.g., requiring written documentation from cultures with oral traditions, demanding clinical studies for traditional medicine while accepting corporate white papers for pharmaceuticals, or using “lack of proof” to deny accommodations. It turns evidentiary standards into instruments of discrimination.

Example: “The school refused her request for a quiet space for meditation, citing ‘insufficient evidence of need’—discriminatory proof bias, using evidence requirements to deny accommodations that would have been routine if requested by a dominant group.”

I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
