He said, "A lot of people think midget is the correct terminology. Actually, that is so wrong. It's a very, very slang word to the Little People society and reason being is that word originates from the early 18th century when they used to do the circuses and fairs and they would put little people in situations as part of a 'freak show' and they would title it a 'freak show.' And that it is why it's so unacceptable to little people."

Wade said that there is an appropriate way for others to deal with those who they think are different than them.

"I want people to say, 'That's a little person or dwarf,' and then I want them to come up to me and introduce themselves because I want them to get to know Ethan Wade and who Ethan Wade is."

A midget is a creature the bites you in the summer.
Or is that a midge?

Mar. 27, 2008 | 2:56 PM Imacow says:

I don't think they'd like it if I walked up to a midget and calling him a dwarf...

Mar. 27, 2008 | 3:26 PM q13qew says:

Mar. 27, 2008 | 3:34 PM Photek says:

They deserve to be called derogatory names after producing the show LITTLE PEOPLE, BIG WORLD.

Mar. 27, 2008 | 3:34 PM BMack24 says:

i call them 'gnomes' myself.

Mar. 27, 2008 | 4:22 PM Seamonky says:

Midget is the new racist word.

Mar. 27, 2008 | 4:50 PM Ragnarokia says:

You know I am the smallest person in my year and I am smaller than quite a few people about 6 years younger than me...

Mar. 27, 2008 | 5:26 PM John-The-Biter says:

What if they don't like being called a dwarf? They might pull out their hammers and beat us. And we won't be able to step on them becuase not only are they level 40, they cast Divine Shield, which makes them invincible to all spells and negative buffs.

Mar. 27, 2008 | 5:38 PM WadeFulp responds:

There are probably little people that like being called midgets. So if you went up to them and called them a littler person, or a dwarf, they might get pissed and be like "I'm a midget you dumb giant!"

Mar. 27, 2008 | 5:27 PM John-The-Biter says:

Wait a minute. Didn't you just insult all retards and say they should be locked up? Your sending us mixed messages.

Mar. 27, 2008 | 5:36 PM WadeFulp responds:

Little people aren't retards, well, there maybe retarded little people, but not all little people are retards.

Mar. 27, 2008 | 5:49 PM FlamingHiei says:

I see. I've known a lot of small people, and I guess its hard when you know everyone thats looking at you is most likely thinking about how small you are.
By the way, did yesterdays opie and anthony get posted?

Mar. 27, 2008 | 5:52 PM SevenSeize says:

I taught one, and his parents preferred for us to simply state he had dwarfism.

I went to high school with one, who did not get offended at any terms. He was actually quite the ladies man, funny, and popular.

Always looking up the girl's skirts.lol.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho...

Mar. 27, 2008 | 7:59 PM mranarchy says:

I personally think that the phrase 'little people' is patronizing...I've heard dwarfs call themselves as such...

Mar. 27, 2008 | 8:39 PM John-The-Biter says:

I didn't mean midgets are retards. I'm saying that your teaching a "P.C." lesson after saying all that about the 'tards.

Mar. 27, 2008 | 8:58 PM Ansel says:

Hoory for political correctness based on events that occurred hundreds of years ago. I despise that kind of thing.

Mar. 27, 2008 | 9:06 PM invisibleturkey says:

Dude...dwarves have battle axes, beards, and heavy armor.

Mar. 27, 2008 | 9:08 PM chris-the-stick2 says:

well ,whats the right term then?

why not call them by their names isntaed of ''dawrf'' or ''gnomes'' (haha, lol, this made me laugh so hard) or ''little guys''

why not just call them ''dudes!''?
or by their names

Mar. 27, 2008 | 9:21 PM BMack24 says:

"Midget is the new racist word."

it wouldn't be racist, more like... heightist... or something.

Mar. 27, 2008 | 9:36 PM Rudy says:

Wade Fulp is a Garden Noam !

Mar. 27, 2008 | 10:02 PM TheSoulMan says:

midget and dwarf comes to be the same from my point of view.

Mar. 28, 2008 | 9:00 AM Shaun says:

They suffer "dwarfism" so they are obviously called "cunts"

Mar. 28, 2008 | 2:42 PM Vousielle says:

The difference is little people are dwarfs, and hairy diminutive warriors are dwarves.

Mar. 28, 2008 | 10:48 PM Jonas says:

Maybe they aren't any midgets in the world, Wade, maybe you're just a freakishly tall giant.

Mar. 29, 2008 | 1:01 AM SugarQmuffin69 says:

wow this story has touched my heart...

Mar. 29, 2008 | 1:38 AM walterwagner says:

i dont know who deleted betty but THANX any way betty 2 is herehttp://betty2.newgrounds.com/it shim HELP

Mar. 29, 2008 | 6:00 AM Sterance says:

What about little people that have leg extension surgery? Do I call them people formerly known as little, but not quite as tall as the average person of their age?

Political correctness is bullshit IMO. Little people, midgets, dwarfs, tiny people, whatever you call them, they will always end up being more well adjusted to life because no matter how much PC you have, if they don't get tough skin they will loose it. If being born into a world of mockery doesn't give you tough skin, i don't know what does.

I think people that are not average will always be the last ones standing because of this.

Get Bent. TAXMAN!

Just something to put it out there can you change my username?

Mar. 31, 2008 | 10:26 AM kidray76 says:

Tic for tac.

Mostly depends on the person, and how it is said and classfied. Most, m.., umm, little people I see honestly would rather not have the label. But rather than just be a person.

Mar. 31, 2008 | 12:25 PM lazyyMitch says:

Small people, small problem.

Mar. 31, 2008 | 5:51 PM Jowata says:

Apr. 1, 2008 | 6:37 PM FamilyGuy05 says:

Apr. 1, 2008 | 6:38 PM FamilyGuy05 says:

Do you have a second account called wade-fulp?

Apr. 1, 2008 | 7:02 PM REDSPADES says:

A midget can kick itself in the head.. a dwarf cant.

therefore making wee-man a midget or... "Little person"

Apr. 3, 2008 | 11:53 PM TomFulp says:

What if we avoided all the questionable names and just called them stumplings?

Apr. 4, 2008 | 10:06 AM Sawdust says:

I'll call you fun-sized.

Apr. 4, 2008 | 10:07 AM Sawdust says:

I'm sorry, that's not directed towards you. Relax, don't resort to locking my account or something.

Apr. 4, 2008 | 11:48 PM smc316 says:

Will you please change my username? I want it changed to;

AniMetal

And only capitialize the first a and the m. Please.

Apr. 5, 2008 | 2:09 AM Monocrom says:

The ironic thing is, many of those "little people," made an ass-load of money being part of the freak shows. When all the sensative and caring folks came around and put an end to all the freak shows, many of those little people had very few options for employment.

Apr. 5, 2008 | 9:16 PM puddinN64 says:

I'm confused. Where does Wade stand on this issue?

Apr. 6, 2008 | 5:10 AM wiidude says:

Did Tom ever tell you about Blamafornia1984 being a fugitive?

Apr. 13, 2008 | 10:41 AM CaptainRex says:

Hey Wade! Have you considered calling them Pygmies? That is another word for little people is it not? and since it is rarely used perhaps they will not be offended, just a thought...

Apr. 16, 2008 | 3:12 PM silentgamer656 says:

Why do people love tom more then you?

Apr. 26, 2008 | 4:55 PM TheFrankfurter says:
