Blackadder star Tony Robinson vents anger over ‘heightism’

In this article, actor Tony Robinson, known for his role in the TV series Blackadder, expresses his frustration over "heightism" - the discrimination against people based on their height. At 5'4", Robinson says his shorter-than-average stature has been a problem for him throughout his life. The debate over height filters on dating apps has reignited discussions about this issue. Robinson argues that while it is now generally unacceptable to comment on people's appearance, some women still feel it is acceptable to discriminate against men based on their height. The 78-year-old actor believes this type of prejudice should be addressed, just as discrimination against other physical attributes has become less socially acceptable in recent years.
