2 points Person 1: Our restaurant does not allow children under 8 after 8 PM. Person 2: Why does your restaurant discriminate against families? This is an example of what fallacy? Post hoc ergo propter hoc Slippery Slope Straw Man Non-Sequiter

Answer 1

In the exchange between Person 1 and Person 2, Person 2 misrepresents the restaurant's policy (which regulates children's presence after a certain hour) as discrimination against families. This is not a direct claim by the restaurant but an incorrect or misleading representation by Person 2. Thus, Person 2 is setting up a "straw man", a weaker or distorted version of the restaurant's policy, to attack it more readily. This constitutes the "straw man" fallacy.
