Politically correct or insane?

Let's be politically "correct":

Snow White's seven dwarfs have been replaced by seven gnomes in a pantomime script given to a Kent drama group.

A spokesman for the Northampton-based publishers said the change had come from a wish not to offend - gnomes being fictitious.

Whereas dwarfs, as we all know, actually did roam Middle Earth not too long ago.

He said: "Obviously someone has got hold of the idea that the titles have been altered for political correctness and seems not to be aware that times change.

Totally unfair. We can't call midgets dwarfs but they can address Snow White with "hey, ho"?
