Is there an alternatve to the term 'Little People" out there?


There is one thing I don't get about diminutive folks insistence on being called 'little people.' To me that seems much more demeaning than the 'M' word.

It's like: "Oh look, it's a LITTLE person. The are so little! Look how little they are compared to us. It's like we are big people and they are little people."

uggh.

I wish that they had a name that was better suited for them, I really do.

(Not to undo everything I just said, but you have to admit that the photograph I have included is of probably the cutest major in history, Mayor Mite, aged 22.

Are you SURE that's a real mayor? And not just one of those kids-dressed-as-older-people pictures?
