"Asking how tall you are is a question Asking how short you are to a midget is derogatory Why is it any different? " Because you can ask someone how tall they are regardless of whether they are tall or short. Asking how short someone is is no longer a question, it's a comment on them. | |||

"Asking how tall you are is a question Asking how short you are to a midget is derogatory Why is it any different? Because you can see the difference Surely you can see the difference no matter what height someone is? Someone short might be proud of their height and someone tall might hate theirs. Which I understand but usually it's not the case But you have no way of knowing until you've said it. So why say it?" Small people tend to get picked on more than tall people that's why I said it | |||

" Obviously it also depends on how the question is asked. If you're admitting people to a roller-coaster it might be perfectly acceptable to go "how tall are you?". If you spot someone across the aisle at Tesco whose head reaches the overstock shelf it's probably not a good idea to run up going "OMG HOW TALL IS U?!" | |||

Well I would never call anyone Fat Skinny Short Bald Tall and Definitely not Midget It's all derogatory if it's meant in a derogatory manner | |||

"When people say omg how tall are you would they say omg how small are you to a midget or would you say how fat are you to a overweight person
Some would - some wouldn’t.
However - being tall - particularly for a male - is considered an attribute by many - so generally speaking I doubt most people would think they were being insulting or speaking out of turn! X but would you say to someone how wide are you ??
No - but then I wouldn’t ask you how tall you are either. I wouldn’t need to anyway - it says so on your profile.
How peachy are you m'dear? x "Extremely - though possibly a little over-ripe these days! | |||
