Professor Points Out Height Bias to Explain Racism


The writer is a black woman, which means people aren't as likely to get mad at her for daring to compare height to something like race. I would link this whenever somebody misses the point of the analogy and spews the usual strawman: "Heightism doesn't have the same history as racism." Nobody ever claims it does. We're talking about how much better/worse someone is automatically treated for being born a certain way. No more, no less.
