The central theme of anti-discrimination is not judging people for things out of their control (age, gender, race, somehow religion gets in this category too, etc.) and instead being free to judge them for any of the things that they do control.

Experience is a weird one in that it's what they've chosen to do (ok to use) but wanting to see more experience will either mean they had more time to do things (not ok to use) or didn't waste so much of the time they had (ok on the surface, but you'd need to know the person's age to calculate whether or not the amount of experience you desire was within the range of possibility for them).
