Of course it's prejudiced, but it isn't crazy. In fact, everything from our laws, democratic process and even private sector things like insurance rates, are based on generalizations about particular demographics.
When it comes to peoples personal property, it is impossible for an average person to compile statistics to form generalizations so you have to rely on your own life experience. From my experience, I would be reluctant to rent to anyone under the age of 25 and has just stepped out into the real world (i.e., not a student or not living at home, both of which come with security blankets).
