I was reading some of the postings at the video link. This one caught my eye:
"Oh I remembered that 3 of the interpreters did informed me that their OWN Interpreter Agency did WARNED them not to social with some of us in Deaf Organizations and Deaf Clubs."
The agency that I work for
encourages terps to be involved in the Deaf community. We actually get more "points" toward our pay rate if we join more Deaf organizations.
Maybe it's a Southern thing.
