If something has no sentience or self awarenessI have a hard time using the word discriminate to describe anything done to it.

No, its not discrimination to say no to people either.
Your home to do whatever you want in, so long as it's legal.
I often discriminate against my oven and call it all sorts of names when i overcook something. The oven does not mind.

I would say it is discriminating.
Apart from anything else, every new mass produced new gizmo adds to environmental problems.
“They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot”
- Joni Mitchell
Big Yellow Taxi
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
And put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half to seem 'em
No no no
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you've got
Til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey farmer farmer
Put away the DDT
I don't care about spots on my apples
Leave me the birds and the bees
Please!
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey, now they paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
Why not?
Listenin' late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took my girl away
Now, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey now, now
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got
Til its gone
They paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
Why not?
They paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
Hey hey hey
Paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
I don't want give it
Why you want give,
Why you want give it all away?
Hey hey hey
Now you want give it,
Ah she want to give it
Cause she givin' it all away
Now now now
I don't want give it
Why you want give,
Why you want give it all away?
Giving it all, giving it all away
Why you want it?
Why do you want it? (She's giving it all away)
Hey pave paradise
Put up a parking lot

Thats not really any sort of prejudice, amd its nothing that will have a detrimental effecton the oven.
It's fine with me to discriminate against them.Would you say it is discrimination or racism to say no to Robots in the home or in the society?

But what about non-caucasian bots?
You risk having one of them tell you to bite it's shiny metal....you know.

You cannot harm something that isn't conscious so, by definition, you cannot discriminate or otherwise oppress a robot.

But what if robots begin to acquire aspects of personhood?
I just watched Bicentennial Man which raises this question rather directly.
Is it discrimination to avoid recognizing the personhood of robots or to avoid the question for fear of loosing control? This is akin to how slavery and colonialism was justified.
What about to avoid the granting of aspects of personhood to robots?

Tell that to my robot. It's always complaining about my discriminatory treatment of it.
It would be a rhetorical question/command.Well if a thing ask me to bite it i would just smile and say no thank you
You're not obligated to obey.

Try bacon flavoured massage oil.
That would actually be a good rule - a declaration that robots should not be made in the image of humans - i.e. not have personhood attributed to them
For all we know, doing so could save us a lot of bother further on down the line...
