    Yes you're right, if they're basing their opinion on your white skin, they're seeing you as less of a threat than someone that's black or Hispanic. That's just a fact.

    Anytime you don't fit in for some reason or another- you encounter some level of discrimination. If your height makes someone look small- that becomes an issue. Can't be best man for example, because the groom is short and doesn't want that emphasized. Height gets you picked for basketball, but is not so good for wrestling..... Short women tend to prefer someone closer to their heights, so they don't seem to be dwarfs.

    Like or not, discrimination happens for all kinds of reasons. Some politicians are telling their followers to run those who disagree out of public places because they don't want those who disagree to have freedom. Rosanna Arquette (actress) winds up apologizing for being born white- because of the BS being promoted by discrimination bullying the weaker people into being ashamed for being born- in this case, for being born white.

    But you know that.

    Any time you start a sentence with "according to the New York TImes. . ." I tune out because thee days I trust NOTHING that they report. They were caught this past week admitting that they manufactured all their Russia collusion reporting until that was complete blown up by Mueler. And now they are manufacturing a racism angle to see if they can destroy the President. So if you are going to convince me, you'll have to use a much more reliable source.

    I think there is some science that says tall people generally do have lower IQs.

    You think that's the same sort of discrimination that is the issue?

    African American students chanting "black power, black power, black power," while cornering white people minding their own business and calling them racist



    (but according to white privilege African Americans cannot be racist)

    TURN ABOUT TEST!!!!!!!!!!! what if it were white men carrying baseball bats, making death, threats, and chanting "white power, white power, white power"???

    Would the result be the same???

    Do you believe the suffering of white males is just as important as the suffering of any other race and/or gender???

    Know who tends to carry water defending and excusing racism aimed at whites? Self loathing, white liberals expressing their 'white guilt' and virtue signalling.
    It must be a very conflicting state of being.

    Get real.

    A white male whining about racism is about as snowflakey as it gets.

    It's an insult, not only to minorities and women, but also to white people!! It's pathetic, it's embarrassing, and it's stupid!

    So you believe the suffering of white males does not even exist???

    Would you say you believe white males are inferior to other races???

    Do you laugh at the notion that the suffering of white males is just as important as the suffering of any other race???

    Racism is not patented.
    Your denial that racism can be directed at any race, is rather odd.

    This is backwards. Taller people have higher IQ's on average.

    "Tall people—particularly tall menearn more money and are held in higher esteem than their shorter colleagues. Tall people also have higher IQs and a wider selection of mates. The association between height and success is perpetuated, in part, because tall, successful people marry tall and successful."

    I've never been discriminated against because I'm white (to my knowledge). I have been discriminated against because of my beard. I wasn't allowed on the plane because the idiots at the airport couldn't tell the difference between a white Baptist American law student and a middle eastern Muslim terrorist. They finally let me on when they realized they had nothing on me, but I was the last one on.

    This is subjective, or individual taste. My 4'10" grandmother married my 6'4" grandfather. I myself at 6'2" have dated a woman who was 4'5", and no, that's not a typo. Her dates/mates have not all been as tall as me, but she always dates at least 5'9" or taller. I met her family, her parents were only 5' tall or so, but they had four tall kids and then this tiny one in the middle (3rd born).

    I was obviously joking.

    Regardless, from your article:

    There’s plenty of evidence that height is easily separable from intelligence. Here’s just one compelling point: The tallest sibling in a family is no more likely than the others to have the highest IQ.

    Not all white males are inferior...only the ones who believe they are superior.

    Since IQ is hereditable, that just means taller families are smarter than shorter families. In any case, the average IQ difference between parents and children and among children of the same parents is only five points, so the smartest kid in the family is likely not much more than 10 or 15 IQ points higher than the dumbest one. I'm the oldest, smartest, and tallest kid in my family.

    Meh. Give yourself 300 whips over the shoulder with a cat-o-nine whip and say fifty Hail Maxines.

    This story reminds me of another one out of northwest Indiana when I was living there shortly after 9/11. They held up the train into Chicago because the idiots running the train couldn't tell the difference between an Orthodox Jew and a middle eastern Muslim. The old Jew was wearing a tefillin, a small leather box with a tiny scroll in it with a passage from the Torah (Old Testament) written on it, and that alarmed them. I'm not Jewish, but when I read about it in the paper, I said, "Oy vey, these goyim nevah saw a Jew befaw?"
