That made me angry. I'm an older person with a highly technical background and before leaving I would have said something like 'How is it you grew up in an era that recognises discrimination for what it is and yet you still managed to do this.

I honestly didn't give a shit, so I left. Later I found a job with a group managed by someone who would have said exactly what you just wrote.
