Tall people are usually preferred and there are studies that show attractive people get jobs easily plus they have higher self-esteem usually and treated better. You can't deny this. This chart simplifies stuff but it contains some truth to it.

1) I'm quite aware, but literally no one belonging to that group (or their families) likes to be called "retarded."
2) This chart is probably aimed at people living in developed countries, where I think you're much worse off these days as (for example) a Muslim or a black man than a gay man.
3) Tall or attractive privilege is ********. Privilege is about being born into different social groups, usually minority vs. majority. Short and ugly are not social groups and should not be put on the same level as sexual/racial/religious minorities.
