Just saw a thread about someone being miserable with their height. People need to understand height is something you can't control. Having a preference is fine, insulting someone on something they can't control is disgusting, to the point it shouldn't even be joked about


As a tall guy i do feel for short guys if girls insult them because of their height, which many girls do. Girls insult guys for many reasons though. Are you a short guy who has been insulted for your height by a girl?

Ye some girls have no shame. They don't care about the affect it is having on these guys.

Yes that's logically correct. Race and height are both things we can't control so thus it's no different to insult someone's height as it is to be racist.
You shouldn't go insulting people anyway, let alone for superficial ******** like height, weight, skin-colour, etc.
The manlet persecution complex is hilarious.

What have I just read. Are you seriously saying that racism and being insulted about height are at the same level.

Being racist goes further than just insult someone for the colour of their skin. Being racist is also insulting and judging someones culture and heritage based on the colour of their skin.

Insulting someones height is.... insulting someones height. It is not nice at all, but it is nowhere as serious as racism.
scratch a heightist, find a racist

they cannot control their skin colour

like you cannot control your height

the ignorance of being racist is just as bad as insulting someone's height

I'm happy with my height buddy.

I do however, find it quite insulting that you think racism and insulting someone on height are at the same level.

Tell me why insulting someone on race (something they can't control) is different than insulting someone's height (something they can't control)

we're not talking about how people were treated far worse because of their skin than their height, I'm talking about the logic

That's so true. I have seen one to many threads about guys feeling self-conscious about their height. My friends 6ft 7, yes I'm not even joking lol and he feels so self conscious because he can't even fit through the door frame like lol no joke and ppl always make comments and on the other hand my best gf it 4ft 9 and always get's comments about her small frame. I just find it ridiculous.

So calling a midget or a dwarf is on par with calling someone a P**i?
