Dinklage is both right that little people shouldn't be shoehorned into playing fantasy dwarfs primarily but also he doesn't get to decide what roles should be available for other little people actors.

Peter Dinklage reveals why he pushed for fewer dwarf character roles despite costing little people jobs. “I just wanted to not be a fantasy dwarf. I wanted to have a dick” “When clinically, what you are has become sort of poached by the fantasy world as a term for somebody who’s not human like a gnome, fairy, pixie, elf” “When you play that you’re clipping your balls and I was like … I can’t be clipped guys” “And they do that with nationalities and many more. We gotta be careful”

Dinklage comes at this topic from a place of immense privilege. He can turn down roles he doesn't want to so because he's already financially set. The vast majority of actors let alone little people actors cannot do that.
