Many little people find the term "midget" offensive because it is associated with outdated and derogatory stereotypes, often reducing individuals to a caricature or object of ridicule. The term historically stems from the entertainment industry and is linked to exploitation and discrimination. Instead, "little person" or "person with dwarfism" are preferred as they emphasize humanity and individuality.
