I told one of them one time what it was but then he asked me a 2nd time & I left the interview. The other interviewer asked me how old I was & said over 21. I told him also that it was irrelevant & illegal to ask me how old I am. I didn't get the job needless to say. I’ve had interviews where the employer asked me for my age.

But I think some of the claims stem from a sense of entitlement that people seem to have now. Some people think they can do anything they want and then yell discrimination when they have to face the consequences of their actions. I'm afraid this won't go away until the machines take over the world. LOL I know some claims of discrimination are based on real acts of discrimination.

Don't get me wrong; I strongly support anti-harrassment in all it's forms, but how far do we have to go before we start considering the extra-work, burdens and headaches that such an emphasis places on the very source of employment that allows such claims to be made in the first place? Isn't it time we stop worrying about how to define the next ethnic mixture and worry more about how to sustain industry employment with strong business/employment options in our waning economy?
