It's only a question of justice insofar as the prejudice is pernicious and can be corrected. Prejudice and privilege are not necessarily pernicious. We privilege the care of ourselves and loved ones. We have aesthetic preferences that cause no harm to others.

The question then is, can it be corrected? I would say no. To some degree aesthetic prejudice is natural and appropriate. Even the ugly prefer those who are not ugly. Aesthetic prejudice is diff from racial prejudice. We don't assume that the ugly are criminals, or are stupid.
