If a woman rejects a guy for being black because she didn't want her kids to face racism it would cause outrage. It's interesting how a woman can reject a guy for being short and be labeled as 'understandable' while the rejecting for the former would be headlining newspapers out of dismay.

I agree with this completely. Heightism and racism have very similar overtones. Heightism is a socially accepted prejudice which is why everyone can openly condemn short men.

I never thought of it like that but that is insane. But you have to remember that blacks are under a lot of fire right now and anything like this will bleed a lot worse. Same with the gays.

You have to remember though that ALL men of ALL nationalities can be short. This is why a woman saying no to black men is thought of as being racist. I know that isn't fair for her or short men, or really any of this is fair, but it is how people are.

I actually know someone who feels this way and she is white and actually got jumped and beat up by a group of black girls over it when she was 17.

This is what I was thinking. Since being short is something all races of men can be, they can't blame it on one thing. But then again, what if the man is a short black man and she refuses to date him for his height... would she be racist?

I hate when people do this crap. Color, height, hair/eye color, even weight shouldn't deem a person ugly.

Of all the things they could discuss regarding advertising, they had to take aim at short men.

Never fails. I'd rather stick with Chat GPT if this is their company vision for marketing.
