Verticalism is any form of discrimination or prejudice against shorter people in height, usually in the recreational environment of basketball. Verticalism can take the form of ideas and assumptions, stereotypes, attitudes and practices, physical barriers in the environment, or larger scale oppression. It is oftentimes unintentional and most people are completely unaware of the impact of their words or actions.
Hey Harsha, wasn't Venkatesh being hurtfully verticalist against Aryan the other day? He would continuously and intentionally dunk on him in order to emphasize his height privilege. He even went as far as to call out Aryan's short stature. Do you think he's aware of his verticalism? I hope Aryan's doing okay.
