Would he call gays 'a bunch of queers' or Black 'a bunch of N_ _ _ _ _ S'? the way he describes a illusory group of short people "picking cotton" as "a bunch of midgets"? There's no chance of that happening. I have seen this in more than one reviewer of this documentary so far. The reviewers actually PROVE BEYOND DOUBT that the basic contention of the documentary is factual, and that is that heightism is real as rain. Their use of these derogatory colloquial terms to degrade short people are equivalent to words like the 'N' word for Blacks or equivalent words for other groups. The fact that these reviewers can use these words freely and without fear of reprisal indeed proves that Heightism is real and rampant. --And by the way, this writer is the person that this reviewer described as "some dude in New York". I happen to have a website that's all about heightism. Why don't you visit it?

All the short guys in this movie were successful. The guy who made it, the dentists, the parents of the short guy who had his legs extended and the Chinese lawyer. How is being short impeding the success of these guys...it isn't. One legitimate complaint they had is that they can't get laid. After watching the movie I decided that if these guys had beautiful women all over them, they wouldn't be complaining about anything. But really, what portion of the population wouldn't want to have more sex? Here it the thing. All the short guys in this movie were successful.
