T-Mobile’s 4G Wonderland commercial depicts an annual example of blatant stereotyping: little people as elves. Does the holiday season offer the sole acting opportunity for this group? Guess their only other hope for work would be a Hobbit sequel, Snow White’s Disney on Ice or a biopic on Hervé Villechaize. Advocacy organizations are quick to criticize clichéd representations of Blacks, Asian Americans, Latinos, LGBT, Native Americans, Italian Americans, etc. Yet the belittling portrayals forced upon people of short stature continue without protest.
