    I think Ray "liked" midgets. He was well intentioned as was the movie.

      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.
      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.

        "as a midget myself I felt offended."
        You're a troll, because if you weren't you would know that dwarfs consider the word "midget" a slur.

          While I agree the OP is likely a troll, midgets are actually a thing, and different than dwarfs (and
          much
          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.

            There's a difference from trolls and midgets you beep trolls live under bridges.

              Midgets are not dwarfs and dwarfs are not midgets.
              The fact that the OP is not aware of this puts a serious crimp in his credibility.
              Perhaps the OP just wants to reach out for some sense of community.

                    I am tired of this idea that making fun of one person means making fun of their entire race/gender/religion/whatever.
                    If you really believe this, you have to denounce The Simpsons, because Homer makes all white men look stupid.
                    I've seen things that would make you want to write a book on how to puke.

                        the movie was about the value of life based on race, genetics, innocence, i think thats why it had midget as part of the plot.

                          you are either completely retarded or you didn't watch the movie, they made fun of the entire dwarf population not just one dwarf in this movie.

                            They also made fun of blacks & 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'

                              It's a comedy. It has to make fun of someone. Get over yourself.
