Dwarf fact #2: Just as among other minority groups, nomenclature is important for many in the community of people of short stature. For example: many prefer Little Person (LP) while others prefer dwarf, and others still prefer person of short stature. One word that is NOT ok is midget. I haven’t met anyone yet who prefers it. Both dwarf and midget have shady histories, but dwarf remains a medical term, perhaps that’s why it’s still ok.
