>Age discrimination doesn't get the same coverage as gender, race or sexual orientation discrimination.

That's because the vocal parts for the "gender, race or sexual orientation discrimination" are mainly white well-off younger people.

Gender causes naturally draw them in. And through they are predominantly white, race causes make them appear as hip and invested in other cultures.

For them being old is not a reality. If it's anything, it's obscene. Why don't these old people just die?

That's the same reason those giving coverage to "gender, race or sexual orientation discrimination" also get a free pass on pissing on poor people (whether "white trash" or black/latinos/etc when they're not subjected to race-driven but poverty driven abuses).
