Be like Roger Ebert and Danny Woodburn

Roger Ebert Statue, Virginia Theater

This is one of my favorite conversations on the internet. It's an email exchange between the late film critic Roger Ebert and actor Danny Woodburn:

Dwarfs, Little People and the M-word on RogerEbert.com

Woodburn is a little person, and he was upset by a word Ebert used, in a review, in reference to people with dwarfism. Woodburn comes on strong, saying that Ebert was taking away people's humanity by using a hate word. Ebert could've used this as an excuse to get angry or defensive or double down. In fact, you might've expected Ebert to be a bit haughty, since he was a Pulitzer Prize winner and also the best-known film critic in the world. Instead, though, Ebert listens. The two have a real, meaty conversation. Ebert explains he didn't know the word was considered offensive, and he ends up saying "I will retire the word...right here and now."

Be like Danny Woodburn: if you have a problem with something someone has been saying, speak up about it (if you feel safe to do so).

And be like Roger Ebert: be willing to talk and to listen.
