Heightism is a popular national pastime among Americans of all ages. A lot of people, especially those who are not in the know, have a negative view of it due to Kate Bingaman-burt’s public exposure of her extreme high feet, as well as her association with the Portland community. As such, some have accused her of exploiting people by posing as a “hippie guru” and using her height to sell art.
