Miley Cyrus Twerking On German TV With Dwarves
I’ve just heard about this after watching The Last Leg tonight.

Had Miley Cyrus tried to learn Sign Language or Braille, had she come on stage in a wheelchair or using a white stick, I would have said she was making her disabled audiences feel wanted and cool and included.
Had she danced with a blind person or a wheelchair user as part of her routine, I would probably have said the same thing.
However, my only question in this case is- because of the short stature of people with dwarfism, they have the appearance of children. I can’t decide whether slapping them, as you would slap a child, reinforces that image.
In this case, I do think Miley Cyrus was having a bit of fun. Had she left out the slaps, I would have thanked her for being inclusive.
So readers, I’ll open this up for your discussion. #isitok for Miley Cyrus to dance with a backing band of dwarves?
