    If that’s real and in the US that’s age discrimination and you can sue, and easily win, even if they say it’s not your age, but the date of your birthday it still would fall under discrimination based on age.

      No, it’s not legally considered discrimination.

      In the US age discrimination is only when you discriminate against someone 40 or older.

      Discriminating against someone for being under 40, or discriminating against someone for their particular birthday is not considered a protected class.

        I honestly can’t tell if you’re serious or not.

        edit: I’m not from the US and this seems like a very silly legislation. Unless I’m getting whoooshed.

          I’m serious, but yes, it’s silly legislation.

          Our lawmakers tend to be in their 60s and 70s so it’s not entirely surprising.
