I long for the day when someone with dwarfism reads the news | Eugene Grant

It makes no sense to ban television programs and movies that ridicule us, but it would be nice if we believe that people who are really

As a person with achondroplasia (a form of dwarfism), I often stopped in the street and asked if members of the public they recognize me on television. Just the other day I had the following conversation:













Boy (10 years): "you are in the program innit Seven Dwarfs"

Me: "No"

Boy (surprised): "But you look like him"

. "Well ... yes ... because I am a dwarf "

Boy (more confused)" But ... I learned that there were seven dwarfs. "

me: "There are more than seven years!"

Boy is silent, is totally confused and somewhat concerned

Unexpectedly, most of the jokes of the vertical axis of the scenes include Davis crawl through a dog flap and called "a dwarf bad toilets" by Johnny Depp. These have provoked criticism and outrage - some of which have been expressed here in The Guardian, in which parents asked that the program be taken off the air

Every time I hear a new movie or a "with" people with dwarfism, my immediate reaction is one of deep skepticism. This is partly because I know if the dwarf or dwarves offered to turn white, about 4 feet and 17 and 40, who is almost certain to spend the next week to explain to people that the child above of the person she saw was not actually me. it's also because I am afraid, will be represented as dwarfism and what impact this might have on me (I still receive regular verbal abuse as a result of Mini-Me Verne Troyer of Austin Powers characters)
