I would like to say:
This type of discrimination is unacceptable.

My attempt:
Diese Art von Unterscheidung ist inakzeptabel.

(Also is there another word other than "inakzeptabel" that would work here?)

My attempt:
Diese Art von Diskriminierung ist inakzeptabel (unannehmbar).

The also valid meaning "Unterscheidung" is not used if you refer to discrimination of race, colour, etc. (which I assume here).
