I would rather be a blind armless midget than to have been born black , too bad I was born rich and white.

I wish I could reverse history so that you wouldn't feel compelled to ask that question.
Answering this as a serious question though (despite the obvious bitter tones and it feeling like you're reacting out of anger), being that my wife is just an inch above the defined height of a midget, I'm leaning towards the being a midget thing. Midgets have more freedom. Socially, I can understand to a certain extent the comparison as there are people out there like you who apparantly believe that there's something wrong with being a midget, but being compared to a slave? I think that's really harsh.
I grew up a little naive not realising there was a problem any more until I was about 18 and heard about some ration tension within 200 miles of where I lived. I had looked at racial issues as being something stupid that went on decades ago. As an adult, I realise there's still problems but I try not to foster them by making comments like in your extra tag.
What are your solutions for solving racial tensions? Perpetuating them doesn't help. If you are being subjected to these kind of problems you have to make a positive change to fix the problems. Life is too short to spend it unhappy.

What does being white have to do with it? From you toon I am assuming you are black (you can assume me to be white if you like). Which would you want? And what is the point of such a question? To prove that being a slave is worse than being short? That just seem plain silly.
News flash you are not a slave. News flash virtually every group of people has been enslaved by another group of people at sometime during their history. Below is a link to a black professor who writes and talks about this.

Well when I was born there were no slaves, but there were midgets. I choose to be neither. Just me.

If I really had to chose, I would choose to be a midget because at least you are free and you can do whatever you want!

i could prefer to be born as a sprint individual (i think of that's the politically appropriate suited expression), I evaluate freedom some thing much extra significant than attaining the better shelfs with out stairs

I'm pretty short so being a midget wouldn't be much of a stretch.

If I were a midget I would be insulted by this question. We all know that slavery is bad, therefore your question implies that being a midget is "bad". That is kinda prejudiced if you ask me. :)

Don't you think the question is a bit racist? Someone once said that adversity will either make you bitter or more compassionate. I think you're choosing the former. But to answer your question, none of the above.

I'd choose choice B.
