Here Yoho, have a read-through why mask wearing isn't discrimination, it's scientifically effective in reducing virus spread, which protects both you and me (even if it just tears you up inside knowing that):
Science Brief: Community Use of Masks to Control the Spread of SARS-CoV-2

SARS-CoV-2 infection is transmitted predominantly by inhalation of respiratory droplets generated when people cough, sneeze, sing, talk, or breathe. CDC recommends community use of masks to prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Masks are primarily intended to reduce the emission of virus-laden droplets by the wearer (“source control”), which is especially relevant for asymptomatic or presymptomatic infected wearers who feel well and may be unaware of their infectiousness to others (estimated to account for more than 50% of SARS-CoV-2 transmissions).1, 2 Masks also help reduce inhalation of these droplets by the wearer (“filtration for wearer protection”). The community benefit of masking for SARS-CoV-2 control is due to the combination of these two effects (source control and filtration for wearer protection); individual prevention benefit increases with increasing numbers of people using masks consistently and correctly.

Only selfish people choose to see mask-wearing as discrimination, especially during a ####ing PANDEMIC.
