Ageism and Racism are equally bad in that both isolate an Individual. The difference is that ageism is seldom in your face but a institutional way of life ---- the modern growth of computerisation is basically the pure form of ageism evident to-day -- Banks expect everyone to be one line and willing to use their computer systems --- all fine and dandy if you have a computer --and trust their systems to work 100 % of the time. Airports and traveling are another thing of dread for the elderly with ticket purchase systems etc.
Never mind the foreign based call centres--press and enter a thousand numbers and wait half an hour to discover they can't handle your complaint and or requirement. Go into a shop and ask for something ---" you have to do that on line -- we can't do that here "
Racism you may learn to ignore -- ageism on the other hand is unavoidable and takes many forms.

Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

Ageism in airports is as off topic as granny porn.
