The discrimination we care most about in the domain of moral inquiry is commonly thought to involve traits such as sexual orientation, religion, and race. An attractive explanation for this line of thought is that such traits are socially salient. In this paper, I look to give a systematic treatment of social salience and clarify its role in a theory of discrimination. I survey extant accounts in the literature, and consider what we must add to a notion of social salience to appropriately model insights about the scope and moral character of wrongful discrimination.
