Collins gives the same definition for both ageist and ageism. "discrimination against people on the grounds of age..." so I think discriminating would be ageist, what do you think?

I agree, discriminating here is a type of adjective, like ageist. If they had used the word discrimination, a noun, then it would be ageism

Snap. I think ageist (adjective).

Thanks, I agree. I had already put in " Ageist" for the same reason, but thought I would seek a second opinion.
