Knowing that the word “teen” describes people between the ages of thirTEEN and nineTEEN inclusive is probably somehow associated with math. Further, knowing that someone 36 years of age doesn’t fall within that thirteen to nineteen interval is probably more math.
Expecting a mere journalist to get math right, much less twice in the same story is RACIST!

Ah, but everyone knows that in modern journo-speak, “teens” means “black people.”

Her problem wasn’t in characterizing a 36yo as a teen, it was misusing the word “including” to mean “accompanied by.”
