It's funny how deaf people always complain that hearing people look down at them, but aren't they doing exactly the same thing to their own culture?

Before many people in the deaf community looked down at Marlee because she used her voice in some television roles, and Heather was not accepted by the deaf community just because she did not sign enough and she relied too much on lip-reading, then she had her cochlear implant in 2002, the deaf community went nuts. It's unbelievable.
