Last year, I posted a post and in one of my sentences I said "Hearing people......." I cant remember what I said but after posting it, another hearing ADer who has a deaf son, told me that he doesnt think that way and that I was generalizing all hearing people when I made that statement. I told him that he was right and apologized. I always kept in mind to say "some hearing people instead of hearing people...."
So, I would expect the same respect from people if they talk about the Deaf community and to keep in mind that the Deaf community is composed of individuals who have their own opinions and views. By saying "The Deaf community did this or that..." is generalizing.
