But see that's my point, we are at a disadvantage BECAUSE of people's attitudes towards deafness.
As an analogy:
Personally, I find it harder for me to look at a successful story about a white person who came from an extremely poor neighborhood with the same weight as a successful story about a black person who came from an extremely poor neighborhood. I admit it, while I find both to be inspiring, I find the black person's story more impressive than the white person's story.
Maybe that's just wrong thinking. Maybe that's racist of me somehow. :shrug:
