Well you've got Peter Dinklage making being a dwarf seem like a proper badass socially, and Gimli for the physical side, so I would imagine it can't be THAT terrible ;)

I was referring to portrayal socially. Keep in mind the mental image of dwarves for the public used to be "step right up to see the freak" at circuses. I would say current portrayals are much more favorable and help to reduce the "eww what are you doing out of the circus" mental image.
