Isn’t this obvious?

I mean height is one of the largest factors of success for men. If being of smaller stature that is when a Napoleon complex forms.

Just extrapolate dating economics for shorter guys and that pretty much sums up society.

I would say heightism is one of the largest biases currently still allowable.

Boy I can't wait for Eugenics 2.0! I'm sure it will be better the second time around.

Hypothetical situation: if there was devised a cheap and easy to administer "genetic IQ test", would you oppose an NGO whose mission statement would be to administer this test to low income inner city kids, and offer scholarships or vouchers to good schools to those exhibiting the highest "genetic IQ"?

I’m flagging this for the racism of “inner city kids” and their supposed lack of intelligence.
