Does anyone here think that this same kid would say "I want to be short!"?

We need positive short role models who are not themselves ashamed to be short.

I think there are plenty of short men that can be role models due to their characters and courage but in a society that prizes height and chucks shortness, you will not see them being put out there, with the exception of Michael J Fox. However, he is not put out there as a role model for short men as Obama is for black men, since society doesn't recognize heightism to begin with.
