I believe sam was making a difference in his treatment or favor on a basis other than the individual merit of FaSho. Now let's see what discrimination means...

2: to make a difference in treatment or favor on a basis other than individual merit

I'm not sure maturity is a requirement to enjoy Tucker Max, but I certainly wouldn't have gotten all the sexual stuff at FaSho's age. I'm not going to assume that he doesn't understand just because I wouldn't have though.

I'm not saying sam was being inflammatory or anything, but he was discriminating in a pretty harmless way. I just called him out on it.

Yes but FaSho wasn't treated differently, he was asked how old he was. It may be prejudiced to assume someone younger won't appreciate something fully, but it's not discriminating until you tell them not to do it.
