While the obvious ones (racism, sexism, religionism, etc.) are quite plainly unacceptable, things like not allowing everybody into medical schools on the basis of underqualification or to do jobs in sensitive areas like policing and education because of criminal history are just common sense.

Why aren't all forms of discrimination unconstitutional In what cases might it make sense for the government to discriminate between types of people?

The constitutional amendment that protected against discrimination specifically prohibited discrimination based on certain classes, such as race and ethnicity. It would be impossible to prevent all discrimination, as not all is bad. For example, the state discriminates against the rich when offering Section 8 benefits. Only people who make below a certain income are eligible for reduced rate housing. It would be impossible and undesirable to offer reduced rate housing to everyone, so it is limited only to those that need it. However, if the state attempted to offer housing benefits only to people of a certain religion, it would be unconstitutional.

It is simply discrimination targeted at Jews and holds, generally, that Jews are somehow unfit to live with other people or society because Jews as people are rotten.

I suppose there will always be a few hateful people who discriminate against another group! There is still one type of discrimination that is legal in the UK. The King or Queen must be a member of the Church of England. All other religious groups are banned from the succession.
