  • It is called "heightism" for discrimination against "short people" according to NOSSA(National Organization of Short Statured Adults) headed by Ellen Frankel 4 foot, 7 inches tall. BTW many black people laugh&mock short people amoung themselves, especially if a black man is short.

  • @RonSafreed Indeed. All the more reason to satirically protest it. Thank you!

  • @iceyme015 This song was written as an ALLEGORY to racism, a SATIRE to prejudice. I've said this many times to ignorant people to like to comment on everything they watch. Please, read the info and comments on my video before blindly commenting on something you clearly know nothing about.

    Oh and look up allegory and racism in the dictionary while you're at it.

  • Hello everybody!

    Do someone know where can i found this arrangement?

    Sorry i'm not french...

  • It's in an old King's Singers songbook. Not sure which one.

  • guys...this was GREAT

  • @creamyfilling102 No, but did you notice the wall behind them? I like the drama caused by the two doors on either side. It makes the statement that not only are we all short, but not quite centered either. The symbolism of the boy, girl, boy, girl winsomely supports Kierkegaards' assertion to, "Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are."

    That said, I read some saying the song is "racist", since when were short people their own race? It wasn't a census option.

  • @creamyfilling102 I am that lady. And I am that short.

  • Fabulous !!! But unfortunately a few people here don't know of what they are talking about.

  • Good job guys!!! =D I like it!!!

  • speaking of short ppl, did anyone notice that lady in the red shirt?

  • @CheshHashim ZING!

  • @CheshHashim  DOUBLE ZING!!
