Key difference: . Dwarfism is a medical condition due to which a person has abnormal growth.Historically, the term midget was used to describe "proportionate dwarfs," while dwarfs could be any person affected by dwarfism, proportionate or disproportionate. Today, the term ‘midget’ is considered derogatory.
A midget is just someone really really short. A dwarf could be anyone of any size that suffers from Dwarfism traits.
Kevin Hart despite being short, does not display any Dwarfism like traits.
Gary Russell Jr does.
Short does not equal dwarf.
This girl is 4'10...but does not display Dwarfism traits.
