I think you are misunderstanding what I mean by 'circular argument'. Have a look at this:
http://www.nizkor.org/features/falla...-question.html
and especially this paragraph from within that page:

This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because simply assuming that the conclusion is true (directly or indirectly) in the premises does not constitute evidence for that conclusion. Obviously, simply assuming a claim is true does not serve as evidence for that claim. This is especially clear in particularly blatant cases: "X is true. The evidence for this claim is that X is true."

When you say something is discrimination simply because it just
is, then your reasoning is fallacious.
