Midgets and the mentally retarded. Those are two groups of people that society hasn't yet deemed it wrong to make fun of.
Everything else is gone. You can't talk bad about blacks, Jews, women, gays, or the blind and deaf. Still, you'll see people badmouthing midgets on prime-time tv and everyone calls each other retards as an insult.
Not that I'm not one of these people who does it. I'm just wondering how society picks and chooses what differences are taboo and which aren't.
