I don't know that it's discriminating so much as it's unkind. Discriminating would be if you treated them unkindly because they were ugly.

It's not that everyone is beautiful, it's that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their appearance.

The reason it sits wrong with me to say it's discrimination is because the perception of beauty is a subjective thing closely related to perception of attractiveness, and is largely beyond an individuals control.

OPs image, for example, bears a striking resemblance to what my father looked like, except angry and with bags under his eyes. I wouldn't have called him ugly, because that would be a cruel thing to say to such a kind warm person, but he was not an aesthetically appealing man.
It's just a fact of life that 80 year olds are rarely beautiful in the conventional aesthetic sense. Doesn't mean they don't deserve respect, kindness and care.
