This is an example of prejudice.

Explanation:

Prejudice refers to any behaviour or idea that expresses an irrational or unfounded judgement towards a social group. As the word implies, it means "judging before knowing".

Age is only one of the many ways in which predujice can manifest; prejudice can also be based on sex, religion, social classes, nationality, occupation and several other characteristics.
