Is there a reason small humans are stronger than medium humans?

You might not be aware of this, but 'midget' is a derogatory term. To use the Golarion analogy, it would be like calling a Halfling a 'slip'.
I realize 'dwarf' is already taken in the context of a fantasy game, so you may want to stick with 'little person'. I've edited the thread title.
Would 'pygmy' work any better? I know it's also fairly charged, but it also was used in ancient Greek mythology too... 'Little People' is usually what fey tend to be called.

"Small-sized human" is the term I used and felt it was pretty accurate. I still fail to understand why they are proportionally physically stronger than medium sized humans and also get a +2 bonus to an ability score of their choice. Seems to me that they should get a strength penalty as is customary for smaller creatures (such as gnomes, halflings, goblins, and so forth). Consistency is kind of important to me (I'm a bit of a simulationist).
