Talk about language shaping perception...

doesn't mean that the gymnasium is discriminating against them.

What about if you've got two gyms, one which has a number of
wheelchair-basketball players, and one that has none.  Would you perhaps
wonder why one of those gyms had a different representation?

No, I wouldn't wonder.  It is a fact of nature that birds of a feather
flock together.  Forcing different kinds together mostly leads to
conflict and inefficiency.
