Could be neither. As of a couple years ago both terms were "politically incorrect."
Acceptable terms:
small people
vertically challenged

They like to be called by their name (John, Jake, Sally, Joan). You get the idea.
Just for your information, there is a difference between a dwarf and a midget:
Most types of dwarfism are known as skeletal dysplasias, which are conditions of abnormal bone growth. They are divided into two types: short-trunk and short-limb dysplasias. People with short-trunk dysplasia have a shortened trunk with longer limbs, whereas those with short-limb dysplasia have an average-sized trunk but small arms and legs.
Midgets are short in stature but evenly proportioned all over.

I would think that both names would offend, I do not believe that they should be labeled at all.. How about calling them by their name? Or if you do not know their name how about, that guy over their, or that girl over their? Why do they have to be labeled different than anyone else? They are people too you know... :D

Wouldn't think they like to be called either...vertically challenged. Actually I think theres a difference between midgets and dwarves but I don't know what it is.
