Plenty of PSEUDOSCIENCE in the early 20th century "proving" that ALL minorities were inferior to whites. Plenty of Bible Slingers preaching the same garbage up in droves until about the mid 50s. There were books and even documentaries on the subject used in universities all over the country and the world. Lets not forget the mutlitude of studies "proving" women are inferior to men and "deserve" to be paid less. Women deferred to men in all aspects of society up until the last 60 years or so. Does that and all of the studies over the centuries "prove" that women are inferior? That's "science" too you know?............

It aint science buddy. It's PSEUDOSCIENCE that's ingrained deep in the brains of many unfortunately. Already been proven through studies that people will hire the 6'2 guy over the 5'5 guy even if the 5'5 guy is MORE intelligent and able bodied.

But PSEUDOSCIENCE is just spun science to make things "seem" right based on nonsensical "observations".

Next you'll be telling us that whites are infinitely smarter than blacks and southeast asians because of their smaller craniums.............

Get out of here with the crap.

Like I said, STEREOTYPES, HATE, VITRIOL and HEIGHT BIGOTRY.

When Christian Bale cursed out everyone on the movie set and went into a rage, did people blame it on him "being tall"? No, but when someone like Kim Jong Il (5'3) does it, the media is all over it and says, "it's because he's short"............When a smaller individual does something stupid, it's always because "they're short". That makes absolutely no sense. How about it's because they're just stupid..... Height has nothing to do with it.

If one could say that, then it would be just as appropriate to blame people who are black for doing dumb things "because they are black", or to blame people with cancer for doing stupid things "because they have cancer".

You don't label people because of a physical attribute like race, height, condition, etc, etc.

That's just stereotyping, hatred and bigotry (even if you think it's "okay" to do so).
I was trying to say that it doesnt matter if they're tall or short. I was ssaying a lot of celebs feel the need to be desired and seek attention. That's all.
