OMG this is horrible (fb related)

Person: Something I have been thinking about lately: how do deaf chinese people communicate?

Responder A: you're weird!! LOL

Responder B: Come to think of it, have u ever seen a deaf chinese person?? I haven't!

Indifferent

What is wrong with people?!  This is so incredibly rude.  Andplusalso, sign language is it's own language.  There are different forms of it just like 'regular' languages.  I'm not an expert on sign language, but seriously, they are people!  Don't talk about them like they are animals - and FFS, that last comment?! 

PS this is a girl I know because we were BMs together, so we're not really 'friends' - I think I have some cleaning out to do...

ETA: I'm not trying to be all dramatic like I unfriend anyone who says stupid stuff, but I've been meaning to go through again and sort of 'organize' it anyway, lol (I feel like people fb friend a little too much - "oh hey, we sat next to each other at the movie, let's be fb friends!")

  • i've seen deaf chinese people.........one that communicated in ASL....because..you know, not all chinese people are limited to the chinese language ;)

    but yeah..i have seen deaf chinese people. i don't understand what they are signing, but it's something.

    lol. i just really can't believe she posted that on fb to begin with. it's one thing to think things, but another to put them on a public forum. did anyone tell her she's ridic? or did people just say "like, omg, i think you're right... weird" (in my best valley girl voice)
