When I was in my teen years, my aunt asked me to go to mall with her so I did. We went to a food court and found a table. A few minutes later, some stranger left a card on our table and my aunt picked it up and was like "Kevin! You gotta see this". I took a look at it. I was embarassed and like, "Who cares". When he came up to us and my aunt gave him a dollar and told him that I am deaf too. "Hello, I'm deaf too. My name is Kevin and what is your name?" He didn't respond back and left us. What a fag. I hate people when they pretend to be deaf so they can make money. Even if they are deaf or not, they make us (deaf community) look bad by asking people for $. That is like you live on a street and you go and ask people to put money in your cup with fill of shit.

I've had my share of them. I always tested them to see if they really were deaf. I would say "Thank you but I already know the ABCs. Have a nice day." Some of them just look at me and some just ask me where I am from, etc... I really think it is a shame but... some of it is run by mafia organisation that brings deaf workers from other country to here, and put them in small rooms to live, and force them to sell on trains or train stations. ABC once did a show about it in 1990s about a Mexican family who brought all deafies from Mexico to NYC. Pretty sad...
