Morphology
nondiscriminating = discriminating (transparent) = non + discriminate + ing
The negative prefix 'non-' straightforwardly negates the adjective 'discriminating', yielding 'not selective' or 'unable to distinguish'.
Etymology
Nondiscriminating comes from non- ('not') plus discriminate ('to see or choose differences', like 'separate'), so it means 'not able or not willing to pick between kinds'. That's why we call a nondiscriminating menu or reader one that is not selective and accepts many types equally.
