I would disagree. A 'Midget' as you put it would just be a derogatory term for someone who is short, no matter what disease or genetics they have. It's meant to be mean, or funny, but has been watered into the American language.
A Dwarf is one with the recognised medical Condition Dwarfism, as someone stated previously
There is also a syndrome called Aarskog syndrome that enables you short also.
Hope this cleared some things up.

Midget is an insulting term to a person with dwarfism. Midget can be used in other circumstances also but usually means 'inferior' or 'less'. Therefore by calling someone a midget u are implying they're less of a man.

A midget is just a very short/small person. A Dwarf is someone who suffers from Dwarfism - ie. they have a recognised medical condition

if you're a midget, something's wrong w/ your spine. Dwarfs are when you're short cuz of genetics...I think....
