Little People Urge FCC to ban "Midget" from the airwaves

I think the FCC has bigger things to worry about at the moment. Its a tall order to get movement on such a small matter(constitutional issues aside) in the grand scheme of things.

The group Little People of America called Sunday for the Federal Communications Commission to ban the use of the word "midget" on broadcast TV. Leaders of the group said the word, which was prominently featured in an episode of NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice," is as offensive as racial slurs. "Historically, the word 'midget' has been used to objectify people, like in the circus," said Clinton Brown III co-chairman of the 52nd Annual National Conference of Little People of America, which is taking place in New York this week. "We're in the 21st century. We're beyond that."
