I am sure this has been said in one way or another on here but what gives? Why is racism something that has to be dealt with but heightism is a-okay!? Both can't be helped, you are born what race you are and you a born to grow into the height your DNA has mapped out for you.

Feminists and liberals hate white men. Most men who are considered short are white or Chinese/Japanese but it isn't an issue there for them. It is normal. Backing blacks and women is the way to go to get the most money and most done. They don't do this to fight for a cause, they do it just cause.

There are plenty of short women, short black men, ect. ect. so I don't get how this makes any sense.

I think the point he is making is that there is more money in fighting causes for women, gays, and blacks than there is fighting for height. Most people just don't give a crap about height to the point where change needs to happen.

Dale is right. Most people don't care about height. It is sad too because we earn less and are considered less of a man because of it.

Why is it considered normal for them and not for us? Are we abnormal because we don't meet a certain height requirment by social standards?

Heightism is not OK - obviously. 

But there is also not a history of widespread enslavement, lynching, murder, imprisonment, etc. based on height. 

From a pure standpoint of fairness, heightism and racism are equally unfair. But the history racial violence is much, much, worse than the history of height-based violence. Any short kid beat up on the playground knows there's some, but it was never, as far as I know, any nation's stated purpose to eliminate or enslave short people.

those things are in the past, nowadays no one has it worse than a short male, no one, it is acceptable to make fun of a short guy, woman essentialy want nothing to do with you, and it is a fact you make less money as a short male, there are movements for equal pay for a woman, I assure you there will be no movement for equal pay for a short male, as well as all the other disadvantages in life if you are a short male

I would agree that discrimination against short men is the least recognized form of discrimination. But I would not say we have it worse than all the other categories out there.

When I put on scrubs in a hospital, people call me doctor. My female colleagues get called "nurse", my Hispanic and black colleagues are assumed to be orderlies and get asked for blankets, and some folks actively refuse care from my Middle Eastern and Asian colleagues. 

Then again, you can be any of those things and short on top of it.
