2. Ageism is stereotyping and prejudice against individuals or groups because of their age.
"We're ageist because the society we live in is permeated with ageism. "
3. Disablism is the discrimination or prejudice against people with disabilities, especially physical disabilities.
"Stop discriminating against the blind, cause with proper training and opportunity, blindness can be reduced to the level of a physical nuisance, and the average blind person can do the average job in the same time that the average sighted person can."
4. Xenophobia is a fear or contempt of foreigners or strangers.
"I have experienced locals getting up and looking for other seats on a train or in a restaurant because I had sat beside them. have been refused service because I couldn't speak the host language. "
