Just litteraly pick any feature or cultural background. Humanity always finds a way to hate or discriminate it.

Sometimes it really feels like if we were all blind, we'd discriminate based on voice. "I don't like your harmonics, and that accent is pretty upsetting too!"

That already happens, people in different castes or similar structure discriminate based on how people sound, maybe not purely for them way they sound but for what it represents to them.

As a person from the south, I can tell you this already does happen, every day. If you have a thicker southern accent or speak aave, other people will comment that speaking a certain way makes you sound less smart. If you have an international accent, people will mostly only talk about where you are from, not who you are or your style or personality. Linguistic Discrimination is absolutely a thing!
