Often hearing people are not aware of being an audist.
audism does not goes both ways, the reverse is deafism and this also attacks innocent deaf people !
racism is done the other ways too of course! dont be naive, look at rap music videos are obvious examples. Even 'job oppurtunities' are 'won' becuase they accused by penetrators who abuses the the racism notions...... that's been apparently getting around..
also, often there are black's scholarships or sports teams but it would be be deemed racist if whites does the same......
so no, im not apologetic, racisms does goes both ways, white people need not to be scared anymore, as does men need not to get scared of mind-gaming power-hungrey ambitious women.....
knowing how to be fair is one thing, but knowing how to get what you want by exploiting other people's fear of lawsuits is quite another thing
I think reverse audism or racism is sort of complicated because at its source it stems indirectly from bad experiences as a result of racism/audism. It's also part of human nature to want to classify/generalise about others. I'm not justifying or excusing it. It's more of an explanation for why it exists, if you will.
While it goes both ways, in many cases the imbalance of resources and power goes to one group rather than the other due to historical reasons that does have to be addressed. for example for deaf people having resources to access the hearing world such as interpreters, hearing aids, good quality education programs etc.
