Yes, inflation and junk fees (including government) hurts the poor the most. But people of color? Black people may be taller on average, but hispanics are shorter.

Actually air travel is discriminatory, when was the last time you were on a flight that 13% of the passengers were black? And for equities sake, we need >13% to blow past equality.

Sounds like discrimination against tall people if you ask me.

I'm here to tell you it sucks. Unless I'm fortunate enough to get an exit row seat, my knees are quickly sore. On a funny side note, I've had a couple of short people cuss me for keeping them from leaning their seat back. Naturally, when we land and I stand up, they have all of a sudden have a verscared look on their faces when they see it was because I'm tall.

Aholes that lean their seat back make me mad. I sit upright the whole time because I hate it so bad when people lean back. I know it's a right...blah blah blah. But, it isn't courteous to the one behind you.

My husband is 6'8" with a 38" inseam. He's all legs and always either books an exit row or pays for the seat with more leg room. I'll have to inform him that this now makes him a person of color. I'm sure his company will be thrilled to check that diversity box, as well.

I do not envy tall people that have to travel a lot.. I am almost 5'10", almost! And I travel 75+ flights a year and I am so thankful I dont have to squeeze on an express jet. Kudos to you giant road warriors.

I'm just under 6ft and have never been bothered by someone leaning their seat back. It takes up very little room in your space and you can gain it back by leaning your own seat back. I genuinely thought it was just understood that some people like to lean their seats and others don't.

Truth! I've never understood why they are always so low

Not sure what I hate more...airplane seats or hotel shower heads that hit me in the bellybutton.

Short people obviously don't understand.
