Unless I misunderstood your post, what about interpreters who are hearies like Reba? I am sure many of them are on deaf side since they know very well how frustrating deafies communicate with hearies.
Allow me to expand on my post.
You can gather in this thread alone that Grummer, Brotheryellow, caz, and diehardbiker express similar feelings about the justice system. That feeling, where they feel that the justice system favors the companies, not the little man, is valid. There has been hundred of thousands discriminating issues in the workforce for the deaf. How many do we actually see reach fruition? Just a handful.
For a hearing person, regardless of his/her employment or relationship with the deaf community, to come in here and say these things ...
Discrimination laws still need to be litigated, which means involving lawyers. A law is only as strong as its enforcement.
Without laws, how would people attain justice?
... only means they are not seeing things in the deaf perspective. They have not entirely experienced our feelings in the world of employment. They have never faced the issues personally. They may see it from an outside perspective, but to understand it like a victim it takes an actual personal experience. That is where the 4 people in this thread share the same feelings.
It takes BLATANT, OBVIOUS, and REPETITIVE discrimination for something to actually happen in the justice system. Otherwise it's a losing case for 99.95% of the population, and we know it. That's why you see deaf people expressing their anger about it.
When an outsider (hearing person to the deaf community, white person to a black community, straight person to a gay community, etc) comes in and say "oh, we have the justice system, use it" it's offensive because the community is saying "We have tried, and it's not working, so we're here trying to find a better way to reach our goals."
Do you understand where I am coming from now?
