Teasing someone about the colour of their skin is a massive no-no, but teasing them because of the age of it seems to be fair game. amirite?

Ageism doesn't have a sordid past as racism does. Plus, everyone ages and it's one of the few things we all have in common.

If you're not unlucky, everyone will experience just about every age. So the teasing thing transcends because you might tease while you're young but you'll grow into understanding when you're old

You can't do that with race, one persons skin colour comes with life experiences that another person with a different skin colour simply can't share
