German term or phrase: personenbezogene Merkmale
In a text about discrimination:

(...Das Gesetz ahndet keine Verstöße, wenn die Person zu einem solchen angestiftet wurde........)= previous sentence.
"Das Gesetz verbietet Benachteiligungen nur, wenn sie an eines der personenbezogenen Merkmale anknüpfen."

I need help with the second part of the second sentence, please.

Thanks in advance.

tied to personal characteristics
Explanation:
Don't see a problem with this: "The law forbids discrimination only when tied to personal characteristics."

I can think of quite a few examples for this. For instance, I private school may have discriminating hiring practices. They just can't discriminate on the basis, of race, gender etc..
