I think this statement is a little rude ! 
If you just mean it's stupid to think someone's not a nice person because
he is short (or very tall), you're right. 
But when it comes to falling in love with someone, I don't think it is 
stupid to "care" about height. After all, you don't "choose" the person 
you fall in love with your brain, it has not much to do without being 
intelligent. An intelligent person may be capable of STOPPING himself from
falling in love with someone he or she is attracted to if there are rational
reasons against it, but you cannot force yourself to love someone who is
exceptionally nice but just does not have that certain something that 
attracts you to him emotionally.
If someone has an ugly face, it is more difficult to find someone who falls
in love with him, sure - this is a "bummer" for anyone who's just born 
unattractive. If someone is fat, maybe because he's got some disease, it's 
also more difficult, if he is crippled, it's more difficult and so on.
We just can't control the way we choose the one we fall for. 
Also, both times you talked about women in your post you talked about
attractive women. 
If it was true that a person who cares about the height when choosing 
his/her love is stupid, wouldn't that also mean that someone who cares about 
attractiveness is stupid, too ? After all, both are just external factors
that are beyond our control.

On the other hand, I wouldn't give too much about what anyone says in an 
interview about the type of man/woman he or she prefares.
Most of the time, people pick partners that have little in common with 
their ideals. If you'd ask me what kind of men I like the best, I too 
would have to say tall, strong, dark-haired (like many women) and green-eyed
(that's my special preference...). But the men I have actually picked for 
my partners did seldom match this. One was tall, but blonde, one was dark and
green-eyed, but short, one was even short and blonde, and none of them was
exactly what I described above. But I fell for them nevertheless, and loved
them just as much.

[I just left that in in order not to delete the second reference to 
attractive women....]
