The Word Midget Is As Offensive As A Racial Slur

The Little People of America are asking the FCC to ban the use of the word “midget” on broadcast television.  They consider it just as hurtful and demeaning as a racial slur.

All this started because of an episode of Celebrity Apprentice where contestants created a detergent ad called “Jesse James and the Midgets.” It did not help that one of the contestants, Joan Rivers, proposed using the soap to bath little people then hang them to dry.
