There have been similar studies showing that shorter/uglier people tend to get hired less than their taller/better looking counterparts - for the same skillset.

Yet society, in the United States anyway, seem to be less concerned about this particular bias, even though it is just as "unfair". I think the exact things society pays attention to as unfair are largely arbitrary and cultural. Racial biases don't nearly concern me nearly as much "incentive biases", which I feel does far more harm to society overall, yet most people strangely do not pay it much mind.
