You may count me as insulted at the suggestion that
I would care for one moment about the person's age.

I can't let these unconscionable slurs against 9-year-olds
stand.

Next thing you know I'll be saying that Africans have dark
skin or that women have breasts. Shame on me for making such
sweeping generalizations.
