Actually, there aren’t any “midgets” any more- at least not in the States. It’s a condition that can be easily cured. Now, dwarfism, is another matter.

Seems rather short-sighted, perhaps even small of them.

In the long tradition of banning words, because the word itself is a problem, not what it means.

There are at least two episodes of "The Odd COuple" where midgets play a central role. In one, Felix the photographer says, "Everyone smile and say midget!" to a midget family getting a portrait.
In another, Felix and Oscar get can't miss tips from "a midget named Harry."

I used to live next to a manufacturing outfit that made midgets.
Had a small distribution network, used short haul truckers.

Who was that comic who was corrected for using the word “midget” when the correct word was “dwarf?”
Oh ... excuse me! Midgets are little people with proportionally correct physical features. A dwarf has flippers where his arms should be!

I am short only 5’6” and I have been called a midget. So what, if you can not deal with something as insignificant as an insult then grow the hell up.

Nothing new. My patients who are little people want to be called "little people" too.
Actually, a midget is a person of normal arm/leg ratio: like a human but smaller. Often due to pituitary problems. I've never seen a case (they usually are treated with growth hormone injections nowadays).
Dwarves are usually with shortened limbs. The most common is the achondroplastic dwarf, who has typical features that make them look alike. But there are several other types of dwarfism too.
There are a lot of medical problems that they face: one of my patients had a baby with achondroplasia who needed neurosurgery early in life. And the Little People of America website has lots of help for parents.
