Re: Has anyone here done a midget? I was kind of curious as to where the term "midget" originates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midget Apparently it comes from "midge," which is a small fly. The "et" was added to make it more diminutive. You and I maybe didn't know that until just now, but I bet most little people do. I can see how a grown man would get kind of pissed off if you basically called him a tiny insect.
Re: Has anyone here done a midget? The ones with their panties in a bunch are the ones calling for a behavior change, not for the behavior status quo. And changing the word won't change people from having to look up at others, so that sentence is irrelevant. If they get us to all change to a new word, they will soon dislike it, as the same contempt artists will just switch to belittling them with the new term. I find more dignity in some distinctive term like midget than in the longer descriptive phrase, little people. Would I rather be called a caucasian or a sun-lacking blanched-out human? I'd rather have one word dedicated to my type than some longer derogatory phrase. This is the first time I've heard of anyone wanting to be called little and I find it hard to believe. I bet they'd rather have one word with dignity. I got it. Discover the genes which cause it and use that scientific term. For example, phiotetic people. Lancrastic people. Whatever the name for the chromosonal syndrome is. That gives full scientific dignity.
Re: Has anyone here done a midget? I bet Zimbabweans would rather be called Spearchuckers. It's a nice, short phrase that I find completely unoffensive. I've never met somebody from Zimbabwe and have exerted not one iota of energy into investigating whether it's nice to call them that and if they do indeed like it, but I'm perfectly comfortable that it's probably so. If I were Zimbabwean, it's what I'd want to be called. Also, I've never met you, but from now on I think your name is Kobe Thai. See, she's this amazingly athletic porn star, and even though her first name is Kobe you only have to watch her for like a minute before you think, "Damn, that tiny Thai girl with the ridiculously large fake tits can really take a hard one in the backside." Anyway, it's just a lot easier for me to remember "Kobe Thai" than lgprrak or whatever it is you use. Please don't bitch about this--otherwise I'll just have to come up with another porn star next week, and who really needs the hassle.
