Discrimination against people of height. A set of attitudes and behaviors that act out or seek to reinforce that discrimination. The different treatment of people on the grounds of their physical stature. The belief that people of different physical statures are fundamentally different.

A set of pseudoscientific theories that seek to give validity and credibility to that discrimination.

Heightism is like racism well, not really it’s judging someone by there height and even making fun of someone, but it’s funny
Tall person:” Haha you short man”
Short person: “hey don’t be a heightist, *sings song about being short*
