How do movies ask for “ugly” actors?

Question

Or things seen as “negative” otherwise, like specific disabilities (eg. achondroplasia)

I see a lot of ways it could sound offensive. How do they ask for them to audition? Surely they don’t put it bluntly like “need blonde, ugly man.”

Casting staff or directors in general, how awkward is it to hire people for unattractive characters as in their whole role is being fat or ugly?
