Eternal Question #3: Black Midgets
My sister brought this up to me a while ago, and I have not found a satsifying answer yet. What was with our obsessions with Black midgets in the 80's? It's weird enough to have one popular sitcom with a growth disordered black star, but 2? You could argue it's just another example of TV writers' lack of imagination, but I think something else was going on. Any ideas?

Well, they do make great pets.
Black midgets taken in by rich honkies. Webster called his female owner--ma'am and Arnold called his owner "Mr. Drummond". Disturbing.
Yo! I think the white mainstream cqn only deal with blacks in an emsaculated form. It's also why we like Snow and, the lesser known, Eminem. Black edge-white faced.
