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.
