What is the name for the fear of small people?
waiting of the punchline...and here it is: Your question is not entirely clear; do you mean to ask if there is a term for the fear that a black woman feels about little people, or do you mean to ask if there is a term for being afraid of a black woman who is herself afraid of little people? We should probably not try to combine these elements anyway, it is too complicated. Fear of black people would be a form of xenophobia, fear of women is gynophobia, and fear of little people could be described as miniphobia. Fear of blackness could be melanophobia. Combine them at your own risk.
How can you cure nanosophobia?
The appropriate treatment for any phobia is based around gradual exposure in a controlled environment. This is typically done over the course of several sessions of psychotherapy, although there are some variants on the procedure. To get treatment, contact your insurance company to get a list of therapists in your area who take that insurance. If you don't have insurance, you can find a therapist through your phone book, Google Maps, or similar directories. While the theory behind treatment of phobias is fairly simple, especially compared to treatment of other psychological disorders, I do not recommend doing it on your own without at least some input from someone with formal training in psychology.
What is the phobia for fear of midgets?
This is not a phobia. Nor is it an anxiety. There are no labels for a person who has a fear of 'midgets'. The word 'midget' is itself widely acknowledged to be an abusive term, usually applied to people of very short stature. The word 'midget' is widely considered to be a stereotype. A person who has a fear of 'midgets' is, most properly addressed by their name - jimmy, alphonse, jennie and so forth: there is no group noun. A fear of anything may be realistic or non-realistic - it depends upon the particular cirumstances and situation in which the fear is aroused. Some fears are healthy for humans eg. fear of being run over while crossing the road - the fear triggers alertness for real possibilities.
