    Discrimination is great. When you shop for vegetables and pick out the ones that aren’t rotten or damaged, that’s discrimination. When you choose not to be friends with assholes, that’s discrimination.

    You’re thinking of bigotry. Do you really think people asking for an age limit, which they themselves will be subjected to at some point, are doing so because of bigotry?

      Yes, because discrimination based on age is one of the literal definitions of bigotry, but I assume you were being sarcastic, as opposed to being stupid.
