Beyond race, discrmination is deep

Christians naturally discriminate toward beatutful people much like everyone
else. This is deep and life changing in ways perhaps stronger than race or gender.

I wonder if the Bible ever spoke of human beauty in a positive sense. I don't
think so. Just as the Bible never requires a person to be smart.

While researchers have long shown that tall people earn more than their shorter counterparts, it's not only social discrimination that accounts for this inequality -- tall people are just smarter than their height-challenged peers, a new study finds.

My observations do not bear this out. Salespeople are usually handsome.
But that's just simple prostitution and not a measure of intelligence.

My gut reaction would be that there are many more less intelligent physically beautiful people. In other words, their gain in one area is their loss in the other.

Although in the large accounting firms I do see good accountants who are
pretty folks, accounting ability is only a certain small form of
intelligence, and often a stunted one at that.

Other studies have pointed to low self-esteem, better health that accompanies greater height, and social discrimination as culprits for lower pay for shorter people.

But researchers Case and Paxson believe the height advantage in the job world is more than just a question of image.

"As adults, taller individuals are more likely to select into higher paying occupations that require more advanced verbal and numerical skills and greater intelligence, for which they earn handsome returns," they wrote.

For both men and women in the United States and the United Kingdom, a height advantage of four inches equated with a 10 percent increase in wages on average.
