Disney’s Recess was censored to remove the term midget

Apparently now little person/lesser human is the preferred term

I find it hard to believe lesser human would be used as a term. Its a bit funny because again midget was also used as opposed to dwarf by the relative proportionality even though dwarfism was appropriate for both types. Was it being used to describe someone in the show with dwarfism though because if not then it was sorta being used derogatorily.

the midget girl is right

Was use towards the short girl of the main cast when she stood up to authority
