I believe discrimination requires the unequal treatment to be unjust.

Or for someone with a certain colour of hair or skin. With a cheerful smile and beautiful teeth. Or with the same taste in music. Is that discrimination, too?

It’s not discrimination for liking certain features of a desired partner. I have a thing for red hair. I ended up marrying a Sicilian and have been happy.
Where it turns into discrimination is when you exclude a person for certain features (ie having black skin) and not looking at the whole person.

I have no problem when it comes to relationship discrimination, but when it comes to laws and jobs and equal treatment under the law, there is a problem.

Legally an employer cannot discriminate against you because of a physical disability unless it makes you unable to do a certain job and they have to provide reasonable accommodations for you.
It still happens, but it is illegal if they unjustly discriminate against you and you can seek legal redress.
Of course some jobs may be justified in discriminating against physical disability in certain cases. It is unfortunate but if the job has certain physical demands that no reasonable accommodation can redress, then discrimination may be necessary.
For example I am sure you would concur that because of your disability you will not be hired to run a jackhammer.

I think he's aware he can't wield a jackhammer, and I'm sure he doesn't seek employment that he can't actually do.

Gotta have a little bit of darkness within you just to survive. You gotta stoop low everyday it seems like. Stoop all the way down to the devil in these times. And then one day you look in the mirror and you realize that you ain't you anymore. You're just another monster, and thanks to your actions, someone else will eventually become as warped and twisted as you. Never forget that the best of us are just the best of a bad lot. Being at the top of a pile of feces doesn't make you anything but shit like the rest. Never forget that.
