Who else is hiring those people as pop performers? Could that musicians/dancers get hired by any other top tier celebrity anytime soon? How much of the outrage of the way she is "using" those people comes from the way she is portraying them, and how much comes from we as a society being unconfortable with them? If she isn't the only person doing those stuff (and she isn't), why she is the only one being called out on it?
Questions...

Its not about being "uncomfortable" is that she's using somebody's condition as a mean to shock, because they're not seen as somnething society deems as normal.
"Oh look at me y'all! I'm using midgets because I'm so crazy that I have little people in my routines!".
They're used as props, when they are human beings and that's pretty disgusting. I like her, but don't tell me to give her a pass when she acts like a jackass.
