      Wait, dwarf is fine? I would have thought dwarf would be more offensive then the other one.

      Being fair, that might fly with you but I know of short statured people who get really upset at being labelled a dwarf.

      Each person is individual, of course… Its hard to say something that won’t upset someone.

        I know a guy who prefers midget. There is no universal safe term to use which is why i just dont label it (which can also be insulting in its own way.)
