No, I'm saying that the utilization the slur midget against people who ARE short is still derogatory toward a person's characteristics that are outside of their control, whether they are subject to dwarfism or simply below-average in height.
But let's pause here for a moment. I wanna make sure you're hyper-focusing on what I think you're hyper-focusing on because I refuse to believe someone can be this ignorant as to ignore what I'm actually saying. Are you actually, truly being transfixed on whether we can insult people based on height versus dwarfism while ignoring the broader argument I am making? In your own words, can you please describe what that broader argument is so that I understand you get it? Consider this a "read-back."
And you somehow believe those affected by using the word midget to insult short people are short people? You cannot be this stupid. You just can't.
I refuse to argue with people this lazy, having critical-thinking deficits, and/or stoned.
Good day.
You think you can argue with me. Funny.
