It is generally not acceptable to make discriminatory remarks about someone's physical characteristics, including their weight or height. That said, some kinds of comments are still commonly accepted in everyday conversation - for example, it is acceptable to joke about being "tall enough" or "short enough" in certain circumstances. Comments that deem other people as "too tall" or "too short," however, are likely to be considered offensive and should be avoided. In general, judging other people by their appearance instead of getting to know them better is notacceptable behavior.

It is generally accepted to refer to someone’s weight if you’re referring to their size, but it is generally not acceptable to make derogatory remarks about someone’s weight or height. For example, saying “He's so small!” would be acceptable while saying “Wow, he's too fat!” would not.
