Personally, I'd say no. Here's why.

Napoleon was short. So was Mussolini. And Stalin. I think you'll all agree with me that they were pretty horrible people. Napoleon led his men into Russia, thinking he could march through all that snow and win. So he was short, greedy, [i]and[/i] stupid. The more rights you give short people, the more potential dictators you're nurturing.
Tall people, on the other hand. We have both Obama and Trump, and either side of the political divide think one of those men is the best president of their lifetime. How many short presidents have such an adoring fanbase? Um, zero.
Short people are also a liability. They need help reaching the top of the fridge, or the higher cupboards. The time they spend getting stools to reach that high could've been spent on more valuable pursuits for the advancement of the human race. We're entering an age where only the fittest will survive. Tell me, how much help do you think a short person would be in a zombie apocalypse?
I think we should put short people in zoos for our amusement. But I don't think they deserve rights.

Napoleon was reportedly only short by today’s standards.

“ Napoleon Bonaparte was not in fact especially short.

The myth that he was short stems primarily from the fact that he is listed as 5 feet 2 inches tall at the time of his death. However, this is 5 feet 2 inches in French units. In modern international units, he was just shy of 5 feet 7 inches. Now I know you are saying “well that is still pretty short”. That is true by modern day standards in certain places in the world, such as the United States. However, at the time in France, the average height for an adult male was about 5 feet 5 inches in modern international units. So in fact, he was quite tall for his day.”
