How is he an inspiration to the deaf community? Its dancing. If he had prosthetic legs id agree. Lmk when hes doing talk radio so I can feel inspired


Well, he's out there interacting with the rest of the world just fine and able to not just get through the day, but thrive and win difficult competitions. How is that not an inspiration? Being deaf adds a whole lot of difficulty to just trying to get through the day, in large part because there are a whole lot of people who are just flat-out knobs and who don't understand how to maintain reasonable accommodation.

It's hard to explain. I don't think a hearing person like you would ever truly understand how much this means to us. It's just like when Heather Whitestone won the Miss America contest. Bet you never heard of her either.

edit: I really couldn't give two shits about beauty contests, but having her win that contest was just plain awesome

Being able to dance to music you can't hear takes skill.

I can't even get my head around how dumb this analogy is.

It's important. It provides a lot of visibility for deaf people and helps make it obvious that deaf people can do just about anything that anyone else can do, as long as people are decent enough to not get in the way.

I didn't tell you to gtfo

I just said you missed the point

It's not about who won what, about whether it's a reality show or WHATEVER

But you're like, who cares if this dude won the dancing contest? That means nothing...

That shows your ignorance towards this issue. But you had to post your bs anyway.
