Discrimination against Short Men.

I was at work yesterday and some of the Nurses were laughing about a "short man" that was one of their patients.  I got so MAD.  I am about average height at 5'11 or so.  But I think that it is soooo wrong to discriminate against someone because they are short.  People who have already grown up (i.e. > 21yrs old) cannot join a class or take a pill or get a surgery to increase their height.  They are stuck at that particular height.  There is nothing they can do.

I will compare making fun of a short person, the equivalent of making fun of someone because they are black, or Asian, or white.  That person cannot change who they are. 

Short men are discriminated against MOST of all.  Women are expected to be short.  A short Women can date a Tall Man.  However, a Short Man finds it almost impossible to date taller Women.  They are looked down upon and made fun of all the time.  Even short women make fun of short men.  It is seen as OK in our society.  Well I think it is WRONG.  In fact, I think short men should be considered a minority and given the same special civil rights as other minorities in our country, (i.e. blacks, Hispanics, American Indians).
They cannot "get taller" anymore.  No matter how much money they spend, it is impossible for a Man 5'2 to pay $$ to become 6'0 tall.  Maybe, sometime in the future a "Tall pill or Surgery" will be invented.  That person who does discover the Tall pill or procedure to increase height in adults will become an instant BILLIONAIRE for sure.

So I make this plea to adults around the USA to STOP the mean, hateful, discriminating remarks towards Short Men.  Just stop and put yourselves in their position.  It is just as bad as calling a black person a n......ger.   Stop now.
