The language used in the scenario can be considered disrespectful. Referring to Peter Dinklage as a "midget" is considered an outdated and offensive term. A more respectful way to refer to individuals with dwarfism would be to use "little person" or "person with dwarfism." While the intent to highlight inclusivity in the entertainment industry is positive, the wording used detracts from that intent.
