Both types of work are legal employment.
I would say it will not be seen as discrimination for the following reason :

Hollywood casting is 100% stereo type casting and race/gender based casting.

Why would porn be different?


What I have always heard from "Hollywood" is that discrimination laws do not
apply when the race/gender/faith/nationality/etc is central to the portrayal of the
role.

Example : Wesley Snipes cannot say he was discriminated against because he didn't
get the role to play Abraham Lincoln.
