But it can serve to predict it.
Whilst any individual within an arbitrary age bracket can be anything, trends and statistics for those age brackets can be measured and proven.
This is true for age with a much stronger effect than hair colour, because of the material impact it has on the cultural, economic and environmental factors which inform a person’s assumptions, experience and perception of norms.

No, it isn’t.
Statistics are not value judgements.
They’re often used to justify racism but they’re still innocent.
