What is racism? Let's look for a definition:
"prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group"
"the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another."
I highlighted the idea of distinct characteristics.
Now, what is heightism? Let's look for a definition:
" prejudice or discrimination against someone on the basis of their height. "
What is height? Well height is a physical characteristic or quality.
What is race? Race is simply the amalgamation of phenotypes found commonly in a group of people. Call it a social construct or whatever, the truth remains that people separate people's races based on their outward appearance, for example, white people are known for having lighter skin, black people are known for having darker skin. These are physical characteristics.
So what's the difference? Being racist is to discriminate based on a physical characteristic. Being heightist is also to discriminate based on a physical characteristic.
Say I say a racist statement, such as, "I can't take black people seriously." People take this very seriously, because it is implying that you are casting a particular negative trait onto a wide shadow of people who happen to share the phenotype of having darker skin. People find offense to this for obvious reasons.
Now, let's just change ONE word in that statement: "I can't take short people seriously." Suddenly, this is okay. How come. Like the last statement, this statement implies that you are casting a particular negative trait onto a wide shadow of people who happen to share the phenotype of being short.
the general mind set is one of bigotry. If I can go after short Caucasian and black people, all south East Asians I can claim are lesser humans in one large swoop. They ABSOLUTELY are comparable. Regardless of supposed support for one other group (impressing their supposed woke friends) while marching in the street, a height bigot will have a group they see as lesser humans.
So you aren't racist, but you are bigoted towards short people. Did you know that the average male height worldwide is 5'7"? Did you know that in most of the World, males are even shorter than that?
How about races where one of the phenotypes is being shorter? Indonesians, Malaysians, Indians, Native South American Indians, most of these populations have people who are on the shorter side. But you aren't racist. So how do you justify to yourself that you're not a bigot because you don't discriminate to them based on race, but you have no problems making fun of them because of their height?
Take a look at this photo:
This is a photo of a propaganda poster against Japan in World War 2. The American is depicted as tall, while the Japanese person is depicted as very short, because unsurprisingly, many ethnic groups in Japan happen to contain shorter humans. Is this form of bigotry suddenly okay because they are making fun of his stature and not his race?
How about this?
This is a picture a British soldier took with Pygmies, basically parading them as lesser human beings. Is this bigotry? Why? Is it because of their race or their height? What is the difference? Pygmies are a group of human people who also happen to share short height in common.
I guess my question is, how are normies able to handle the cognitive dissonance of claiming to be anti-bigotry because they don't discriminate based on race, while still discriminating based on height?
You might say that racism and heightism is different, because racism resulted in active discrimination in society for black people, but short people suffered no such thing.
So then how do you explain all the studies that show that short men are paid remarkably less, are more likely to be single, and are more likely to commit suicide?
I honestly believe that the normies who march in these BLM parades and take racism seriously are ONLY doing it because it is the trendy thing to do right now. They'll be all open and anti-discriminatory but laugh at Tweets like these:
Or they will make fun of Ben Shapiro's height even though they can easily just criticize his politics, but somehow making fun of his height is better and more justified:
They would have laughed to this if it were socially acceptable:
Why? Because normies are just following the status quo. The state and the media told them that being racist is bad so they don't do it. But the state didn't say anything about making fun of height, so they will make fun of short people.
Also, height is mostly a male-centric problem. Most women are not going to be shunned socially from being short.
Either way, I refuse to take anyone seriously who says that're anti-racist but are heightist. Take a hike buddy.
