Makes me wish we had simply come up with a better word to describe them. Then you wouldn't conflate the mythical version and stereotypes with the real-world version.
Maybe they’re just really tall Gnomes.

What an angry little man.

I’m personally offended that the movie Gnomeo & Juliet casted the entire animated movie with “full bodied” “normal sized” people. Out of all the roles, munchkin sized little people were passed up time and time again. I personally won’t stand (all the way up) until this travesty of injustice is rectified. #HalfshTag #SausageLivesMatter

Disney Responds to Dinklage's Criticism
Dinklage's criticism could actually cost dwarfs these roles. What's his end game? Hurt those he is trying to help?

I'm not a huge Disney fan, but I'm pretty sure the premise of the movie is a gal named Snow White being befriended by 7 dwarves, not 7 titans.
Guess he just doesn't like being an actor who's typecast by genetics and playing roles like Tattoo from "Fantasy Island", R2-D2 from "Star Wars" or Tom Thumb in the story about circus magnate P.T Barnum.

He probably says porn is offensive to the size of his cock. Half-man, half-cock.

OMG yes, how dare they portray little people as hard working. loyal, kind, generous souls, who go out of their way to help others in need. oh the horrer !!!
im sure the remake will be better as disney changes them to be transgendered freaks who rape snow white and beat her until she begs forgiveness for her white privilege.
oh wait, thats right, shes now a mexican illegal immigrant

Show of hands...who here ever thought the Dwarves in Snow White were humans with Dwarfism?
Anyone...? EVER?
Did anyone think that about the Dwarves in LOTR? Or the Hobbits for that matter?
This is really one of those issues where an activist had to literally tell everyone they are supposed to be upset about a thing no one ever even thought of until he brought it up.
You wanna complain about the way dwarves have been utilized in movies since the beginning...fine, there could be a conversation to be had there, though I'd bet there would be pros and cons there too. But desperately looking for something to complain about here is silly. For frick's sake...Disney may very well not have even cast ACTUAL Human Dwarves in these roles, opting to CGI them or camera trick them with full sized people the way the deep with LOTR and The Hobbit.
I wonder if Dinklage knows these weren't actual Dwarves? In fact, was he mad at the portrayal, or at the fact they did not cast actual Dwarves?

Tolkien kind of felt the same way about Disney. He basically hated Walt Disney because of how dumb Disney made dwarves.
How were they stupid? Dopey was probably the most popular dwarf. People seem to dislike Walt Disney for all kinds of stupid reasons. This would be another one.
