ageists
Anti-elderly prejudiced people
People who discriminate against others based on age, typically older people.
An ageist holds prejudicial views about aging or treats people unfairly because of their age: The hiring committee turned out to be ageists who wouldn't consider anyone over fifty.
The term parallels racist and sexist.
