Little People
First I want to say I'm really sure what PC term Little People like to be called but since the website is called little people of american, I figured that was the correct term. I was really interested what sites they had for people with disablities or limitations. In my search i changed my mind from seeing if those who used wheelchairs had a group or site and decided it would be interesting to see what kinds of sites where greated for people who were little people. Most of the sites were informational, but this site has a blog and news postings on all different types of things. They tell when there are going to be activities and events, and allow people to form connections and groups. Like all the other sites, this is another example how global communication and the internet allow people to find others that are similiar, people with a common issue, that they can bond with and become friends. The site was pretty interesting, not too fantatstic visually but has a lot of interesting parts that allow people to get in touch with others.

I would bet there is a fair amount of discussion in the LP community about the term "little people." It seems that the terms used for stigmatized groups tend to change over time because they gradually collect negative connotations. (Dwarf, for example, is rejected by many who might identify with LP).
