Boomer is defined as an elderly person. Why are you discriminating someone's age? Be better.

EDIT: Why does this sub condone age discrimination?

Discriminate against a group of people because you don't like how they vote.

Makes sense. /s

I'm not outraged. I was more so curious why the open age discrimination.

As a conservative, you're outraged by whatever Fox News tells you to be outraged about 24/7

I don't watch Fox News. As usual, you make an ass out of yourself when you assume things.

MAGAts? What are you even taking about? Why continue to comment and assume incorrectly?

You're sharp as a bowling ball.

In your own words, how do you define discrimination? When someone on the internet calls you names? Because that ain't it.

No, we discriminate you because your demographic is a majority of shitty people with a "got mine fuck you" attitude.

Huh, everyone like that votes republican? What a shock!

So anytime someone is mean to you, it's instantly discrimination? I guess the boomers were the real snowflakes all along.

> Boomer is defined as an elderly person.

It's a descriptive term for a person who was born between 1946 and 1964. That's actually quite different than "an elderly person."

Oh, so the term was used as a compliment?

What is the point of using words at all if you're just going to read whatever the hell you want? "Boomer" is not equivalent to "an elderly person" just as "different" is not equivalent to "better".

stahleo t1_j1rd9q9 wrote

Sure, let's use your definition - someone born between 1946 - 1964.

So instead of discriminating against an "elderly person," it's against someone nearly 60 years of age and older. Where's the difference? There is none. It's the same.

If the primary reason you are calling them a "boomer" is because of their age group, then (in the way it was used) it is, in fact, age discrimination.

Again, you're getting this definition incorrect. Someone who is 80 years old right now is not a boomer.

Sure, it's age discrimination. It's generational discrimination. It's not a blanket discrimination against the elderly though. I said it's different, not better.

Great, we agree.

It's not. It's defined as people born in the years after World War II until about 1964.

Being so entitled that you think a person insulting you on the internet is the same as discrimination is a peak white boomer move.

Now go on a rant about how I’m racist too. You know you want to, snowflake.
