No, we certainly can't tell someone who asks a question about potential discrimination whether it will or won't happen. But we can say that our organizations have taken a position on discrimination rather than risking the impression that they haven't.
All that said, in this case the OP does seem to acknowledge the policies and seems to be asking about the on-the-ground realities.
