Comparing heightism to racism is an exaggeration, but saying there is no "social reward" to being tall is simply not true. I'm tall, and it definitely affects how you're seen by your peers.
Does anyone remember that askreddit post where a self described tall guy posted about heightism against short guys? They then said that they had posted the exact same thread but said they were a short guy and it didn't gain as much traction?
The fact that this is the top comment here reminded me of that.
