Dwarfs.

I didn't see any dwarfs in the Olympics or Paralympics. I know they have their own worldwide sports events but are they not allowed to participate in the general O/paralympics?

"dwarf is not a term in general use nowadays for a variety of reasons"

Er, why?

Given that dwarves don't appear to be upset by the term dwarf, why are non-dwarves upset by it?

Personally, if I were a drawf, I'd be more upset by the patronising term Little Person/Little People.

sir.price, for some reason I got a "This video in not available in your country" but I found plenty of ellie simmonds' clips on youtube.

I think all contestants at the paralympics deserve a medal.

Yes flip_flop, you are quite right, the term little people seems more patronising than dwarf.
