It's still bigotry to me.

After a gang-related fight earlier this summer, Triangle Town Center, a local mall, has banned anyone under the age of 18 from being there without their parents on Friday and Saturday nights after 5 p.m. Now that just plain sickens me. The mall manager has even admitted that most young people who come to the mall unsupervised behave appropriately, but they're still banning them all. I don't care who they're discriminating against, any discrimination at all is wrong. Very wrong. Even though I am over 18, I will NOT go to Triangle Town Center at all. Another mall in Durham, Northgate Mall, has done the same thing. They won't be hearing from me anymore, unless they change that policy. The same for Triangle Town.

Here's the News & Observer story.

Here's a website about another such mall in Roanoke, Virginia, and someone who shares my views speaking out against their policy.
