I don't know if anyone has watched this program but those who have probably know that it is rather cringe worthy and tends to toe the line with what its acceptable on TV. For those who don't know it is a fake documentary about Warrick Davis who is a little person. In real life he is a successful actor, happily married, well liked etc. but in the documentary it is a completely different story. Most of the time it does just attempt to be as cringe worthy as possible but it also has some good messages.
In tonight's episode Warrick went on a date, his date was also a little person, he went to the restaurant and she was already there, the waiter just assumed that she was his date because they were both little people and this got Warrick upset and rightfully so.
The fact is that people shouldn't make assumptions that people with medical conditions can only have relationships with people who have the same medical conditions and I think any person that thinks people like Warrick should only be allowed to date other people with the same medical condition (and I'm sure there are people like this) should be ashamed of themselves.
It is as ridiculous as saying that blue eyed people should only be allowed to date other blue eyed people. As cheesy as it sounds it is definitely true that what's inside counts and people with conditions should be allowed to date anyone without people making comments or assumptions. If people can't see pass their looks or their condition then that is their loss.
I will continue this theme on what people's "opinions" involving people with genetic conditions and other things in a longer update soon.
