Heightism be crazy

I'm a short brown guy in the United States. It's absolutely wild that my short brown friends who are making multiple times my income and working at top-tier companies respect me compared to other people. One of my closest friends is shorter than me, and he went to the best public university and the best medical school in this country.

These people are so much better to me than my average height, friends doing average things. Of course, being disrespected for my height to my face is a rare recurrence, but I'm talking about more under the surface things like drama, and just being valued less.

Me and my 6 foot tall white friend have a weird friendship to say the least, but we basically roast each other. But he makes it very clear that he is higher value than me. He is UNEMPLOYED. he doesn't bother me because he only says those things in private and I don't really care about his opinions that much.

But the difference is just wild
