There are so many things wrong with what you have said. Makes me wonder why you have such a dislike of someone you don't even know. How do you know what her schooling is? Functionally literate? Seriously? Why is she so short? What happened to restrict her growth? I don't know, maybe she grew up in a freaking cage. Everyone must be of a certain height by a certain age? What are you even talking about???

You are right on the edge of racism, aren't you? You are a sickening excuse for a human.
