How many short presidents have we had?
How many short CEO's do we have?

Being short can disqualify you from a job as soon as you walk in that interview room without them even saying it.

Being Tall and dark will get you way further in the cooperate world than being a 5'5 light skin male.

And I can also guarantee you that short people get made fun of way more that dark skinned people

Are you short?

Rather, better question, are you short AND dark?

Heightism really only affects men.

Colorism affects both men and women.

Also, everywhere in the world, it's worse to be a person of darker skin. Height-based discrimination on the other hand, isn't a consistent global phenomenon.

So if this is your oppression Olympics, colorism> heightism

Not even gonna lie, my friend said she doesn't want to date anyone shorter than 6'5" :stopitslime: My boyfriend at the time was 6'3" and our bodies didn't even match up like that, so how did she expect it to go with a guy that tall when we're around the same height at 5'3"? And I just heard the whole "pretty for a darkskin girl" last week at the club, so both are forms of discrimination that I don't support. :francis:

Op is right. Short nikkas is struggling out here. Ya'll don't deserve this, ya'll was just born this way :mjcry:

Ol girl told me: "My friend likes you"
Me: "Your girl wanna throw me some? I knew it"
Ol girl: "She says you're tall and really cute and.."
Me: :francis:
I was tall before i was cute.. or a nice person :mjgrin:
Being tall is a win. I didn't do anything to deserve it, but a win is a win is a WIN :win:

Interesting thread :jbhmm:I'm dark and short.

Throughout life, folks have pointed out my height more than my skin color.

Not really in a negative way though. For some reason, people like to tell me I'm short like I ain't know already. And women I smash try to crack jokes on it but it's mainly projection since they short themselves. And they probably wanna see how I react to it.

nah. they trying to let u know in their own subliminal way that if any decent looking tall guy comes along, u will be bushed, so dont be getting all attached. i assure u that's what they're saying to u.

naw, I usually bush them first....no reason to fukk with me when they get approached by nikkas taller than me everyday ...unless there's something about me that beats height/money/etc.
