Eliminate the word Midget from the Dictionary.

The Issue

As little person myself. I've grown up with hearing the word Midget. So I've made it my mission to have it removed from the Dictionary and Google search when you look up a little person. In our world it means half a person in general. Not just half a size. If you look up the definition. Other definitions also mean mythical creatures. We are people of shorter stature. NOT mythical creatures. We are here. We are Little People. And we are OFFENDED by the Word "midget". To the little people community it is of similar context to a the same offense of a racial slur.
