Positive discrimination refers to treating someone who is 'different' in a positive way, but often refers to appointing someone from an underrepresented group based on their identity more than than their skills or ability.

Even though positive discrimination can have negative effects and be highly controversial, some say it’s necessary in creating significant and meaningful diversity in the workforce. Yet, positive discrimination is unlawful in the UK.
