<p dir="auto">They also made fun of blacks &amp; Americans. But who cares? People getting worked up about something said in a movie? Get real. there's countless amount of people out there right now that actually truely are horrible people but you choose to talk about something said in a movie?? .. do yourself a favorite and anyone else who is overly sensitive to what's said in movies,  don't watch 'Do The Right Thing'</p>

<p dir="auto">Midgets are not dwarfs and dwarfs are not midgets.<br />
The fact that the OP is not aware of this puts a serious crimp in his credibility.<br />
Perhaps the OP just wants to reach out for some sense of community.</p>

<p dir="auto">While I agree the OP is likely a troll, midgets are actually a thing, and different than dwarfs (and<br />
much<br />
rarer). While dwarfs typically have legs and arms much shorter for their body size than non-dwarfs and heavier cranial bones, midgets just look like tiny regular humans who failed to grow to a more normal size. "General" Tom Thumb (Charles Sherwood Stratton), for instance, was a midget, despite his Wikipedia page erroneously describing him a a dwarf.</p>

You're a troll, because if you weren't you would know that dwarfs consider the word "midget" a slur.</p>

<p dir="auto">You know what I find funny about your post?  You got all worked up and told the OP to disregard anyone who didn't agree with him, missing entirely the fact that he referred to himself as a midget, something no self respecting dwarf would ever do as that word is considered a slur in their community. In other words, you fell for a troll who doesn't give a rat's behind about dwarfs and was only looking to stir the PC pot.<br />
BTW, stop being so bloody sensitive.  There isn't a person alive whose race, gender, nationality or economic circumstance hasn't been made fun of by someone.</p>

<p dir="auto">I understand. I found the racism and "humor" at the expense of little people really jarring and boring. Martin McDonagh shouldn't stoop to using that sh-t for shock value  especially given that he's capable of much more. It's just not necessary. It left me going "why?" I get that these are characters we aren't necessarily supposed to like  Brendan Gleeson's character might be the exception  but I think it's lazy to throw in a bunch of racially charged, prejudicial one-liners for the sake of characterization. If you want to show me these characters are sh-tty people, there are other ways to do so. And the movie would be just as good, if not better, without that cliched tripe. It frustrates me. I'm sure it frustrates you even more.<br />
Also don't listen to the rest of the aholes responding to this post. The internet is full of sh-tstains It's easy for people who have never experienced discrimination for something they can't control to dismiss the feelings of those who have. They're idiots who probably don't have the mental capacity to even fathom to concept of empathy or sympathy for another human being. Rest easy knowing you're not nearly as f-cked as they are and likely never will be.</p>

dont feel badI'm 5'6 and even I get made fun of. its weird you know,the other day this pretty girl who was with her friends in the break room at workmind you she wasnt a teenbut a full grown adult in her early 30'ssaid "hey theres the short little guy".. when I walked past her. really oddI had never talked to her at all when we would pass in the hallways..never did anything to her yet in front of others she called me a short little guy.the friends didnt laugh or respond they looked uncomfortable.<br />
After reading that paragraph, my first instinct was:<br />
maybe she digs you<br />
.  You said neither of you have spoken to one another, maybe that was her way of opening a conversation with you.  Trust me, I understand that it is unsettling to be talked to in a way that you feel is disrespectful when you're a grown man.  So long as people remain animals and don't evolve into something more, midgets and short men will always be funny to the majority, fat people as well.  Right or wrong, it is what it is.<br />
I'm convinced she was feeling you out, she must have wanted to get to know you, for friendly reasons, or more.  Making a short joke could have been a test, the first of many tests, to see if you weren't a grown man who was still hung up on his petty things like your short stature. Otherwise It's a sign of mental weakness, which is off putting.  It's important to have a sense of humor about this stuff, at least with the right kind of people - eligible women that you find attractive do qualify.<br />
If you had approached her that day with a smile and asked to see her outside of work - on a date, or just coffee, whatever, I think you would have passed the first test.  Or, alternatively you would have been laughed at.  If you can't take some boos, then get off the stage.<br />
then one day I forgot my ID and couldnt get into the building and she saw me and practically ran over to help me get in using her ID. very stange.<br />
This makes me believe my gut was onto something.</p>

I just cannot wrap my head around it why for no reason she would say that! an adult woman to an adult man working in a proffesional county job!<br />
