Aside from crossing a line there, do you really think the average white person has an advantage? Do you really think they don't have to work, pay bills, get an education? Do you really think white deaf people are treated differently than other deaf people? :roll:
To answer your question: I don't see an advantage. I certainly haven't experienced an advantage. I did the work through school. I paid for my own schooling, bills, rent without any handouts.
I have not failed to notice, however, the question has not been answered. What advantages to deaf/HoH people have? I know we can all communicate one way or another, but that is not the question.
If I were to reverse the question and ask: What are the disadvantages of being deaf/HoH I'm sure things like, harder to perform in a mainstream school, harder to get a job, less likely to get dates, more likely to be separated from people are just a few of the things people would answer. But, that's not the question.
There is no argument that deaf people can do anything, I strongly believe it. However, by the same token, I strongly believe that about anyone.
