    It can refer to unfavorable treatments of either unusually tall or short people.
    It always takes the form of unfavorable treatment of smaller people and more favorable of taller people.

    Gee its nice when people answer their own questions.

    I don't think height is a protected class of person when it comes to discrimination. Also the requirements of a certain jobs might require some minimum or mximum height.

    Short people, tall people, ugly people, fat people, obnoxious people etc etc are not protected classes, as far as discrimination is concerned.
