    Martin is exhibiting ageism.

    Ageism, often called age age prejudice, is a form of discrimination of individuals because of their age. It happens when people are denied opportunities or resources as a result of being judged to old. This term was first used by Robert Neil Butler in 1969.

    The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) forbids age discrimination in people that are over 40 years old, meaning that their age is not taken into consideration when seeking employment.
