Everett takes a stand against age discrimination in housing (1907?) (lemmy.world)

Get up out of that so I can take one more punch at you!

Sadly, Everett would need to wait for the Fair Housing Act of 1968 for this landlord’s behavior to be federally illegal. It’s unclear what state Mr. True lives in (besides anger, obviously).

isn't age discrimination still allowed, just not against the old people?

In housingin the us you can't discriminate based on familial status (that law was passed way after this comic). What I think you are talking about would be in the work place title 7.

All sorts of discrimination can occur, it should just never be articulated or put into writing. Unless it's just egregious, discrimination is pretty damn difficult to prove.

...but no, most discrimination is not allowed. Especially when it comes to basic things like age, race, gender, marital/family status, religion, sexual orientation.
