[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't go through pages of this but OP you might want to start by stopping calling Dinklage a 'dwarf' the world is 'little people."[/quote]

I think midget is the offensive term, not dwarf though I think you say person with dwarfism.[/quote]

Actually originally "midget" and "dwarf" described different conditions. A "midget" was a small person who was physiologically in proportion, a "dwarf" was a small person who wasn't technically "in proportion".

Neither term is needed, "little person" suffices.[/quote]

"A little person is one of the more than 200 medical conditions known as dwarfism. Dwarfism is a medical or genetic condition that usually results in an adult height of 4’10” or shorter"

It continues: Appropriate terms include little person, person of short stature, dwarf or LP, though it is most respectful to refer to someone just by name. The word “midget” is considered highly offensive. A little person may choose not to identify as a person with a disability or part of the disability community.[/quote]
