The concept described in the question is bias. Bias occurs when there are systematic errors in measurement or inferences that are related to identifiable group membership characteristics. Discrimination and unfairness may also be related to group membership characteristics, but they do not necessarily involve measurement or inferences. Validity refers to whether a measurement or test actually measures what it is intended to measure, and is not directly related to group membership characteristics.
