Can hearing people be culturally Deaf?

[Frisky Feline]

When a person has in a cochlear implant, and they can hear words and sounds ... does that mean they are now hearing and not deaf ??? When they take way the magnet, does that mean they are now deaf and no longer hearing ?? Should blind people hate you because you are seeing ??

Any person can be accepted into any cultural element if the people in the culture do the accepting. How sad it would have been if white people would have never accepted black people and vice versa because they were 'different'.

Nah, as long as if a person knows ASL and is very involved with Deaf community. AND is not AUDIST(the attitude) too.
