According to the Boston Globe, the group “Little People of America” has called for the Federal Communications Commission to ban the use of the word “midget” on broadcast TV.

Leaders of the group claim the word is as offensive as a racial slur.  Evidently the word was used during an episode of Celebrity Aprrentice, which, of course, is a TV show offensive to all people.

“Historically, the word ‘midget’ has been used to objectify people, like in the circus,” Clinton Brown III, co-chair of the National Conference of Little People of America, stated.  “We’re in the 21st century. We’re beyond that.”

“This is not just a complaint,” said the father of one little person, “but a kickoff to educate American that the ‘M-word’ is offensive to little people.”

It’s only a matter of time…
