Is it? It's discrimination by things that correlate with age, sure, but many things do.

- romwell 7y agoA rose by any other name is still a rose. "I don't discriminate by age, only by gray hair!" "I don't discriminate by sex, it's just that we have a no-birthing-kids culture!" Um, no.
- x220 7y agoWhat if instead of discriminating by race, you don't hire people who live in mostly-black neighborhoods?
- pluma 7y agoCodes of law aren't software. It's not a loophole, it's just an overly naive interpretation of what the law says based on your layperson understanding and applying programmer logic to non-software. If you explicitly don't accept applicants only from select neightborhoods that all just "happen to" be almost all-black, you're still discriminating by race and it's still obvious and obviously illegal. You'll just waste more of everyone's time in court. Just look at sovereign citizens and their inane shenanigans like "I'm not driving, I'm traveling by car and therefore don't need a driver's license and can ignore speed limits".
- romwell 7y agoThe comment you are responding to is highlighting the ridiculousness of the comment above it. However, everything you wrote does apply to the level-up comment.
- imtringued 7y agoYou hire based on university "prestige" instead.
