Of course, they wouldn't point out his white skin, because it's ALREADY assumed that he is white. I personally believe that pointing out the minorities in groups will serve to show the majority that we are here, we are working with you, we exist. To me, it's sort of an awareness thing.
The more a hearing person hears "Oh, a deaf person did this and that" the more likely they will say "So what?" and put them on an equal level with hearing people. Keep it hidden.. that won't happen.
I guess we will just have to agree to disagree about this issue. Sorry for hijacking the thread!
