There's racism, sexism, ageism, etc.

Herb.

but there is also something I would like to coin as "looksism"

The practice of treating someone differently not based on their race, sex, etc. but simply because they're visually appealing to you.

This post brought it to my attention.

I think looksism would be a tougher pill to swallow and a concept that is not embraced because so many of us do it. Guys, what do you think? :ohwow:

Well.....it depends on how you treat them. If you treat someone in a certain way because you think they are attractive.....that's fine. It's only a problem to me when people are mean or nasty to others they feel are "ugly" or below them.

I don't condone any kind of cruelty.

No I think what you said is interesting, and it happens every day. But like I said my only issue is when people are mean or nasty. I don't like that at all. If you feel you are in a position that makes you more attractive, or "better" than someone then you should always be/act like the bigger person. I really can't stand when someone tries to tear others down because of those types of circumstances. Being prettier, richer, whatever.

But anyways
