People certainly act like they are. Folks who want to diffuse concerns about income equality often deny the existence of classes in America, while those who want to raise concerns recently divided the entire country into 2 discrete groups (the 1% and the 99%).
I'm not sure if this goes for or against the hypothesis though. If it's that easy to draw arbitrary lines, then the continuous nature of traits like height shouldn't be much of a barrier to being concerned about it.
Indeed. Parts of the internet divide people (at least men) by height with words like "manlet", and specific numbers for the cutoff.
