That is a really tough choice, as we all have our problems. The dwarf could probably easily find a network of friends (little people that would accept him) through online groups, etc. This might be harder to do for person 2. But, person 2's problems are less obvious.
I keep going back b/w the 2, but I'd say I'd feel sorrier for the dwarf. This world can be very hard to function in, if you are not a certain height. The other person could learn sign language.

The key is not to feel sorry about one person, but to help those you see who have problems...
the only people i really feel bad for is...
I can't stand to see someone make fun of someone who has had problems, mentally, especially because the momma drank or has done drugs, caused the problem
I know a girl, who graduated last year and couldn't spell left...i felt bad...she tried so hard...
and i know another girl, a sweet black girl, she loves me, she hovers all over me, she isn't completely there, and my step mom is a *****, and tells me to tell her to get off of me...she looks up to me a sister, i'm not going to be mean to her, but her problem was caused by her not buckling her up when she was 2, and she hit her head in the dash...so now, she has alot of problems...i feel awful when i see anybody in that situation
and, i feel bad about the ones who are consistently judged...over racism...a black person and a jew and any other white, mexican, polish...we are all people, why judge?? and those who are judged without knowledge of their personality...like being called a whore..even if they are a virgin, or square...i've been there, and even if i hear something horrible about someone, i try not to judge, without knowledge...now there are some people i know personally...who get around...too much

Well to be totally honest i would not feel bad for ether because feeling bad never fixed any thing or ever helped. I am not really sure what you are getting out of this but every one is unique in their own way and thats the things that make them unique in their own way. Theirs are just more physical then internal.

Neither. Both are likely used to their conditions and have made peace with the rudeness of general society. If they aren't miserable and have built up the neccesary defenses to deal with the morons out there, then I feel sorry for neither.

Pity is something people just throw around like, "aw i feel bad for this guy" awww i feel bad for that guy or that girl...But do you REALLY feel bad? Do you lose sleep when you see a no legged man? Do you cry at night for some dwarf who gets made fun of?
Pity is for the weak.

I would feel sorry for both of them equally because they're both being discriminated against for something that is entirely out of their control.

I would say the dwarf. When the average height person steps on him, he wouldn't be able to call for help!!!

Equal. Discrimination and such behavior is unacceptable, regardless of the specifics. I cannot put a degree to it.
