Supposedly "the" movie about Heightism. This Lawyer dude had a blog years ago that talked about heightism. It hasn't been updated in almost 3 years. Probably because he got tired of fighting a battle he ended up learning would never be done.

I don't understand this video. Does this happen in real life? I will say that the comments are a *bleep* show.

The point might be that heightism is a social problem and not biological, and that getting taller does not mask or remove that prejudice, only enhances it. What I agree with though is that Arnold is fighting a losing battle. Heightism will never change. That's probably why he stopped blogging. I remember his work on Tumblr.

It may never go away, but I think it can change. Education is key. Heightism is one of those prejudices that go under the radar. Everyone "knows" they are doing it on some level but it is never challenged. I believe that nothing will change unless short men start challenging it at every instance.
