The govt does employ some Midget Brains, doesn’t it?
There goes “Midget Submarine”. Got to rewrite WW2 in that case. I guess the Jap (er Japanese) midget subs sunk at Pearl Harbor are now to be called “Length-challenges submarines”
Next, “Baby carriers” will be on the chopping block. Too child insulting.
And, “Escort Carriers” is too sexist. Will be called “Smaller Aircraft Carriers” with a male chaperon destroyer.

Can’t use “Dwarf” either. Will insult someone who is very short.
How about “Growth-challenged raisins”? That won’t insult anyone. Isn’t being PC a thrill?
To: Fightin Whitey
That's RAISINCIST!

Gotta find a good PC term as a substitute.
Little People Raisins?
Height Challenged Raisins?
Dwarf Raisins?
Dis-proportionately Small Raisins?
Vertically challenged Raisins?
Raisins Of Restricted Growth?
Wee Raisins? (or Wee-Wee’d Up Raisins?)
Maisins?
Raisins Victimized By Dwarfism?

I am a white person, and I am offended by the word “cracker”. Therefore, I demand that all manufacturers of the food known as “crackers” change their packaging immediately. They must come up with another word, recall all of their products, and repackage them.

Guess Midget sprint cars are going to take a hit too.Not to mention no longer being able to order a short stack of pancakes.....sell short...end up on a short list...etc., etc., etc....is using the short form of "et cetera" also bad form??? There's goes the contractions...
This could snowball out of control in short order......
