Furthermore, they don't live in a cave, they work in a cave.

"Dwarves" was used by JRR Tokien using "Elves" as a model. Perhaps you are confusing his "Dwarves" with mythological "Dwarfs". Or perhaps not. Apparently, this sort of thing became widespread in 2000. Perhaps the news of PJ's films caused a lot of people to read JRRT. Some humans are called "Dwarfs"; in this sense "Dwarfism" is a genetic condition. Whether this use violates PC I have no idea. I don't think it is clear that the Disney Dwarfs are mythological Dwarfs, although they may well be, since this is, after all, a fairy tale. I have no doubt that the recent live-action version botches this badly -- the only real purpose of doing a live-action version appears to be trashing the original animated film . Some lawn decorations are called "Dwarfs". And there appear to be several species of plants and animals which have "Dwarf" in at least their popular, if not their scientific, name. -- "Here lies the Tuscan poet Aretino, Who evil spoke of everyone but God, Giving as his excuse, 'I never knew him.'"
