sorry I didn’t realize that law surrounding hiring and housing practices wasn’t known.



I know the law pretty well – I just didn’t know what you were referring to when you said “that’s illegal”



so why complicate things by lying about your age or race?



Would it surprise you to learn that many companies break the law? And that discrimination is often very difficult to prove? And that without proof, there’s usually nothing you can do about it?

Also, note that the main federal anti-discrimination in employment law (Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964) does not apply to all employers. If the employer has less than 15 employees, it is free to practice certain kinds of discrimination as much as it likes without violating Title VII.
