If you act on that restriction, I believe it is in the United States. The
impression I have is that this is black letter law in the US. It is not a
requirement of discrimination law in the US in general that the
discrimination be the *only* reason for an employment choice, only that
the bias be discriminatory, and stating it as a requirement certainly
meets the basic requirement there.
It's doubly illegal around here -- age discrimination is a violation of
California's Fair Employment and Housing Act as well as the federal
statute.
