The only distinct descrimination seemed to be the result of Tobirama, who was prejudiced against his long term enemies, and basically secluded them in their own district to keep an eye on them.

Hashirama wanted Madara to be Hokage, Hiruzen wanted peace, and Minato didn't seem to possess a distinct position on the matter, or at least we didn't see it, but his student was an Uchiha and his lover, Kushina, seemed to be on friendly terms with them.

Discrimination against them seems to be entirely self percieved after Tobirama's rule as Hokage, especially since Shisui was a world reknowned ninja of Konoha, Itachi and Kakashi, both possessed the Sharingan and yet reached high positions within the village. Even Danzo, who percieved them as a threat, still respected Kagami and later took their powers foor himself, at least showing an appreciation for their tactical power.

Even disregarding those who earned particular repute, we've seen Uchiha with the rank of Chunin and Jounin and after the massacre, Sasuke wasn't only treated well, but he was regarded as one of the big potentials of his generation, his fight against Gaara being the highlight of the Chunin exam.
