Has anyone felt discriminated against?
« on: November 12 2006, 05:50 am »
I'm just curious....just what exactly is discrimination? I for one, know what it is all the way, being hard of hearing, ignored by hearing people, trying to seek help, yet have no success, since they find me, as labled always "deaf and dumb." It has been going on for more than 100 years. I have just learned from Chosenexiled, that he too, is hearing impaired, and even his own parents do not accept him. I feel bad that some of his topics, they think he's discriminating when only trying to clear something up.
Even teachers think of us as unsmart, putting us in lower level classes with lower education. An average hearing impaired teenager, sadly, has only a reading level that's about the 4th grade, because so many are ignored and ppl dont even bother. So our typing, as well as it might seem, may not always be clear, so sorry if we offended anyone. Just feels bad we're accused of something we're not due to our unclear typing.

So please, tell me your thoughts about how you feel discriminated and I'd be happy to read them.

Today.......I was just being discriminated....at least I thought I was.......By finding out my thread was locking because they assumed I was trying to start a fight but I was not.......I just had to ask........but.......sadly......no matter how kind they claimed to be.........they felt like lies to me now........they said they're nice, yet accuse me of being a racist when I was just stating my thoughts and asking...............No matter how kind people tend to be.........they're just pity or trying to get rid of you.........of course...........I'm just a deaf guy with sucky grammar.  I never want to be racist or sexist........but....now............you r so-called kindess...............make me thought of being one....

P.S. I guess it's true......like what Yuuko said........Words are frecious beasts..............And no one taught me how to use them because I'm deaf.

P.S.S.  I hope this topic is not locked because I was never taught how to use these words without offending anyone

My suggestion is that if you feel that there's a problem with another member here, contact a moderator or administrator and it will be investigated. I don't think a topic on discrimination pointing out the problem with threads here is the answer.
