Peters' stand-up performances feature observational comedy, using humour to highlight racial, ethnic, class and cultural stereotypes. He often refers to his own experiences growing up in an Anglo-Indian family, and impersonates the accents of various ethnic groups to poke fun at them. As he told an audience in San Francisco, "I don't make the stereotypes, I just see them." Russell Peters began performing in Toronto in 1989... Read More on Wikipedia.
“The term is abhorrent and should never be used. The fact that we are talking about this during a very important moment in American history has upset me deeply,” Matlin said in a statement on Friday.
Three staffers on the reality TV show, who requested anonymity due to non-disclosure agreements, told the Daily Beast that Trump often treated Matlin with disrespect and called her “retarded,” both behind her back and in front of her. A former Apprentice contestant also told People that Trump made sexual comments to Matlin and other women on the show.
“I am Deaf. There are millions of Deaf and Hard of Hearing people like me, in the United States and around the world who face discrimination and misunderstanding like this on a daily basis. It is unacceptable,” said Matlin, who has indicated her support for Hillary Clinton throughout the campaign.
“As a person who is Deaf, as a woman, as a mom, as a wife, as an actor, I have a voice. And I’m using that voice to make myself heard… and vote.”

Deaf News: 'Dancing with the Stars' winner, Nyle DiMarco slams FOX News for 'Blind, Deaf and Dumb' headline in the United States.
LOS ANGELES -- Nyle DiMarco took offense to one of Fox News' recent online editorial stories.
The opinion piece titled "When It Comes to Hillary Clinton, American Justice Is Blind, Deaf and Dumb," struck a chord with the Dancing With the Stars winner, who shared his grievances with his Twitter followers on Thursday.
"Fox News, I don't appreciate 'Blind, Deaf, and Dumb,'" he wrote. "I'm Deaf and I'm not ignorant at all."
DiMarco added, "Use better words, thanks!"
Fox News, I don't appreciate "Blind, Deaf, & Dumb."
The 27-year-old model's stance received mixed reviews from his social media followers, with several tweets attempting to clarify the headline. "Better words could have been chosen but doesn't 'dumb' also mean unable to speak?" one commenter inquired.
"I think you may have misread. I don't think they meant that being deaf is automatically accompanied by dumbness," was another response.
"I think you took their words the wrong way, Nyle," someone else tweeted.
DiMarco's commentary also got its fair share of support from the Twitter community. "Leave it to Fox News to be offensive. Poor taste. Nyle, sue them," one tweet suggested.
Another Twitter user sympathized with DiMarco's reaction to the headline. "I agree. I have blind parents with master degrees. I feel media has the disability," she wrote.
"People need to be more respectful, I bet Nyle is more intelligent than the people who wrote this," yet another one of DiMarco's followers responded.
ET viewers got a lesson from DiMarco after he won America's Next Top Model last year. Here he is teaching famous phrases from the popular series.

WATCH [CC] - "Have We Cured Deafness?" Research being studied on the ASL and CI users at the University of Washington.
SEATTLE -- Like much of America, I was raised having minimal to no interactions with the Deaf community and I didn’t give it a second thought. That is, until I took two years of American Sign Language (ASL) in high school and a full year of ASL at the University of Washington. While completing these classes, I discovered that there is a very strong and rich sense of community within Deaf Culture.
Over the years, I have found myself troubled by how a group of people so large (approximately 1 in 20 people are Deaf or Hard of Hearing) could play such a minor role in America with stereotypes continuously dampening their career aspects. When the opportunity presented itself to create a video aimed to educate hearing people about the Deaf person’s inequality, I took it.
I created the “Have We Cured Deafness?” video as part of a class project within my Master’s program (Communication Leadership) at the University of Washington. I designed this three-minute video to both set the stage for and be the first of a series that will further break down stereotypes that plague the Deaf community.
I hope you not only take the time to watch “Have We Cured Deafness?” but that you also do the due diligence of looking into Deaf culture and how we can improve our systems to better include these amazing people. As stated in the video, I recommend StartASL.com to learn more about Deaf culture.

WATCH [CC] - Parody - If Deaf people acted like Hearing people.
Deaf Youtube enthusiast, writer, sarcastic bitch sharing just a little parody video of what it might be like if us Deaf and Hard of Hearing people made the same kinds of comments towards Hearing people as they do to us.
As a result, the average person has no idea what being Deaf involves, and therefore life can get downright weird for anyone who can't hear like the rest of you. Well, I'm a sign language interpreter and an American Sign Language (ASL) graduate, and I'll try to give you a glimpse of how strange things can get...
#1. Society Has Traditionally Treated Deaf People Like Garbage.
For much of our history, society just didn't know what to do with Deaf people. In the B.C. era, the law of the Talmud denied Deaf people the right to own land, while St. Augustine in the early A.D.s made deafness a straight-up sin. It wasn't until the 1960s that interpreting for Deaf people was even a profession.
Before then, Deaf people relied on the help of family, teachers of Deaf people (like Helen Keller's Deaf-Blind teacher Anne Sullivan), and the occasional clergyman that learned some signs. If you didn't live in an area with a thriving Deaf community, you might as well be cut off from the world entirely.
Educators didn't have a problem with Deaf people until the 1880 Conference of Milan. A bunch of hearing people and one token Deaf guy got together in Italy to figure out just how Deaf people ought to be educated. You can sum up their conclusion as "Fuck sign language, just try real hard to speak." Even today, many Deaf people remember having their hands tied and wrists slapped to stop them from trying to sign.
He spent his life pushing legislation that would force Deaf people to undergo surgery to make sure they couldn't have children together and make a "Deaf Race." Fearing this day, Bell pushed for the abolition of sign language because it brought Deaf people together. (Oddly enough, Bell's own mother and wife were Deaf. So yeah, probably some awkward holidays for that family.)
This should help explain why Deaf people are wary of anyone who claims to be able to "fix" them. Big-D Deaf people often oppose cochlear implants, and it isn't because they're anti-technology.
It's because they have a distinct culture that people have tried to wipe out. It's not easy feeling like you're doing a pretty damned good job of getting by in life, only to hear a whole group of people look at you and scream, "We have to stop any more unspeakable horrors like this from existing!"...

WATCH [CC] - Deaf News: Deaf small business owners thrive after overcoming obstacles and prejudice of hearing people in the U.S.
NEW YORK CITY -- Thanks to new technology and improving outreach programs, more Deaf people are opening small businesses across the country. Soon after customers arrive at Mozzeria for the first time, they notice something's different about the restaurant: Virtually every staffer is Deaf.
Owners Russ and Melody Stein are also Deaf, and have run their San Francisco restaurant since 2011. The business is thriving because customers love the food and the Steins have overcome obstacles Deaf people can face when they become small business owners - particularly lingering stereotypes and prejudice, and fewer resources than hearing entrepreneurs have.
"We have the same skills as a hearing individual," Russ Stein says. Running Mozzeria comes naturally to Melody Stein, whose family is in the restaurant business. "It's something I've always wanted to do," she says.
Deaf people have the same ambition and ability to be entrepreneurs and business owners as those who hear, says Tom Baldridge, director of the business administration program at Gallaudet University, the largest educational institution serving the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. There's a growing interest among Gallaudet students in entrepreneurship, matching the increase in business schools across the country. The university is expanding its entrepreneurship offerings beyond courses, and giving students experience in running businesses like campus coffee shops.
"A lot is happening right now beyond a few courses in entrepreneurship. We've hired a consultant who's going to guide us (and) infuse corporate entrepreneurship into all the academic disciplines," Baldridge says.
MIXED REACTIONS
The hearing world is still catching up to the idea of Deaf business owners. The Steins have encountered discrimination from people who hear and don't want to make accommodations to help those who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.
The couple has run into resistance when they asked for help at local government offices, including times when they were trying to get permits required for running a restaurant.
"We have had our rough moments," Russ Stein says. "There have been times when I had to ask for interpreters, and I was made fun of; I was looked down upon."
Vendors and other business owners who can hear are often startled or feel awkward when they first meet the couple. Some have assumed that because the Steins are Deaf, they didn't know what they were doing, Russ Stein says. Some have been impatient about using pen and paper to communicate, or have said offensive or inappropriate things.
"People ask, 'how do you drive?'" Stein says.
But most vendors adapt to working with the Steins. Mozzeria's wine vendor has become a true colleague, helping them learn more about the restaurant business.
And customers, most of whom can hear, seem happy to write their questions about items on the menu. Some seem awkward when they first come in, but they soon relax and enjoy their meals.
"They learn to overcome their fear," Melody Stein says.
OVERCOMING STEREOTYPES
Many Deaf owners have dealt with prejudice, including hearing people believing that the best careers for Deaf people are teaching or counseling other Deaf people.
Mara Ladines, who owns By Mara, a clothing manufacturer and store in New York wanted a career in fashion design, but some counselors in college tried to steer her toward being a graphic designer, a job that would require less communication with others.
"They believed a Deaf individual can't get a job in the fashion industry." she says.
Ladines insisted on taking design courses and got jobs in retailers including clothing store H&M. In 2008, she began designing T-shirts and other clothes with a logo that shows the American Sign Language sign for "I love you." She started the business online and it has grown to the point where she could open the store last spring; many of the people who walk in are hearing, and Ladines is able to communicate with them and make sales.
WATCH [CC] - Deaf News: The phrase "deaf-mute" is problematic, and it is not an appropriate way to discuss a person.
Huffington Post by Lydia Callis - An unusual tale about a young Indian woman named Geeta has been making its way around the internet after a Bollywood film helped spark interest in her story. As a child, Geeta accidentally crossed the border into Pakistan all alone. She lived there in the care of a social welfare group for more than ten years years until last month, when she finally returned to India.
Geeta is Deaf and uses sign language to communicate, and the way the mainstream media has chosen to portray her is quite revealing. Major news outlets from CNN to CBS to Al Jazeera all decided to utilize the outdated terms "deaf" and "mute" in their stories about the woman.
For centuries, people with different abilities, intellectual skills or physical features were forced to live on the fringes of society. They were labeled "defective" or "freaks" by the mainstream, and their families were shamed by their existence.
These labels kept people isolated, and they opened the door for abuse and neglect. People who were Deaf were never even given the opportunity to learn or socialize. They were denied humanity just because they were a little bit different... Read The Full Story.
Deaf News: How can you survive in this world if you don’t know how to communicate or drive? Deaf people can do anything, except hear!
These are the most common questions we get asked throughout our lives. So, you can imagine how people react initially when they find out that we wanted to travel.
“Isn’t it too dangerous for you to travel?” Our parents’ utmost fears. They feared that since we aren’t capable of hearing certain surroundings, that there may be a risk to our lives. For instance, they feared that we wouldn’t be able to hear oncoming speeding cars.
The truth is: Deaf people can do anything, except hear. What people tend to forget or may not realise is that although we cannot hear, our other senses are heightened. We naturally developed other senses more strongly - in particular, our vision. We develop skills such as reading lips, facial expressions and body language.
However, we put off travel for a long time because of the fears that society and the media instil into our conscious. One day, we both decided to face that challenge and prove to others that Deaf people are capable of travel. Thus, our blog, Deafinitely Wanderlust, was born.
Through our adventure, we conquered not only the language barriers but communication barriers as well. In comparison to Hearing people, we naturally picked up their local gestures faster because our voices are our hands. We can also distinguish through body language when locals are nervous, annoyed or even lying... Read The Full Story/Photos.
Deaf 'Project Runway' designer speaks out on myths about Deaf. The season 12 finalist dispels stereotypes and myths about hearing loss.
CHICAGO -- In a "Project Runway" season where fights between contestants raged for hours, one of the finalists took refuge in what some would consider a disability: being Deaf.
Justin LeBlanc would turn down the volume on his cochlear implant or completely remove the external device, and he would focus on his designs. "It worked to my advantage," LeBlanc said. "It allowed me to block out all the drama."
LeBlanc fell short of the win, but by making it all the way to the final four, he helped educate the viewing and hearing public about being deafness.
Deaf Community Versus Hearing Community by Andrew Scott Kerr.
The tubers entertaining Deaf couple Annette and Scott Kerr presentation in the "PrankandSpank" statement on YouTube.
REMEMBER: This does NOT apply to all hearing people. I don't want you all jumping to conclusions because it will prove my point valid that you cannot read or listen carefully.
I never said we were better than other disabilities as the only thing we can't do is hear but we still get treated like an outcast compared to other disabilities as people think we are the lowest of the low. But you can't say that we are less capable of doing anything as we can do more than other disabilities can.
It's always been that fact for the longest time and I am sorry you disagree with that. That is my point. Please tell me it is not hard for you to understand that?
There have been many videos on here with Deaf people trying to educate the hearing community but sometimes the message does not get across. I have decided to give my opinion on what I think but in a more offensive way using stronger words and more points because after all the hearing people have put us down for years and still believe we are not capable of doing anything to this very day. If only they knew how many successful Deaf people there have been in this world. And don't tell me I can't say anything negative when we have been getting negative shit thrown in our faces for years.
Please don't forget to like and subscribe and comment if you find the video's entertaining as it really helps the channel to grow and also makes it far easier to to hear more from us in the future.

A new reason for why the Deaf may have trouble reading, health report.
Deaf people may have no trouble communicating words through American Sign Language, or ASL. But studies of ASL users show that the average Deaf adult reads at the level of a nine-year-old. The explanation has always been that this is because they never learned to connect letters with sounds.
But a recent study shows that Deaf readers are just like other people learning to read in a second language.
Linguist Jill Morford led the study. She says: "The assumption has always been that the problems with reading were educational issues with what's the right way to teach reading when you can't associate sounds with letters. But what we're finding is that all this time we've been ignoring the fact that they're actually learning a new language." Ms. Morford is a professor at the University of New Mexico and part of a research center at Gallaudet University in Washington.
Most students at Gallaudet are Deaf; the center studies how Deaf people learn and use language. Professor Morford says signers are like English learners whose first language uses a different alphabet. She says: "Anyone who has a first language that has a written system that's very different than English, like Arabic or Chinese or Russian, knows that learning to recognize and understand words in English is much more challenging than if you already speak a language that uses the same orthography. "The orthography is the written system and spelling of a language. Of course, with signers, their first language has no written system at all, just hand gestures.
Gallaudet professor Thomas Allen explains what effect this has on reading. He says: "There's a silent hearing going on ... when a hearing person reads a word. When a deaf person reads a word, there's not. They see the word and there's some kind of an orthographic representation.
And some of the research in our center has shown that when Deaf readers read an English word, it activates their sign representations of those words." Signers can face the same problems as other bilingual people. Their brains have to choose between two languages all the time. Take the words "paper" and "movie." Their spelling and meaning are not at all similar. But, as Professor Allen points out, the signs for them are. To make the sign for paper," he says, "you hold one hand flat and you just lightly tap it with a flat palm on the other hand, and you do that a couple times and that means paper." Movie is very similar, except the other hand "lightly moves back and forth as if it were a flickering image on a screen."

Deaf black students say they were manhandled by police.
BELLEVILLE, New Jersey -- The East Coast's Stop and Frisk law allowed New Jersey cops to stop a group of deaf black teenagers and harass them. A group of deaf men, on summer vacation from a Trenton trade school for the hearing-impaired, said they were stopped and manhandled by cops in New Jersey.
20 year old Isiah Isaac used “sign language” to tell the story to PIX 11 through his mother and brother. “It was six cars that surrounded them,” Isaac’s mother, Frances, said—as she followed his sign language in the family living room. “He said all the cop cars came over and blocked them in.”
17 year old Domonique Isaac - Isiah’s brother - said he was the only one of six, young men in the car who could hear. The driver, he said, was Deaf - and got out of the car to fetch his l icense from a bag in the trunk. Isaac said, “The passenger (in the front) tried to get out and explain to the officer that he’s Deaf.
The driver ended up on the other side of the car and they slammed him in the passenger’s seat. When he slammed him in, that’s when I tried telling him, ‘He’s Deaf, he’s DEAF.’” ... Read The Full Story.
Deaf Trash, Deafhood, Beasthood, Orange Group, Blue Group, Etc.
Vlog in American Sign Language (ASL), I wanted to share my own opinion and based on my observation of the recent chaotic situation in the Deaf video web. I wanted to quote the description of a stereotype.
It is a public belief about a certain social group or a type of individual. Stereotype is always based on any prior assumption by the certain groups or individuals.
Stereotypes are often created about people of specific cultures or races. So any time if you are grouping races or individuals together. You tend to make a judgment about them without knowing them.
This is a classical example of a stereotype. Racial remarks, sexual remarks, and gender remarks are the biggest stereotypes.
So what I see in this DeafVIDEO.TV, a Deaf social networking with the diversities of Deaf people all around the world is now focusing on the stereotyping against each others within the Deaf communities. "Deafhood", "Beasthood", "Orange Group", "Blue Group", "Deaf Trash", "Low Functions" and the lists goes on were the subject of the Deaf stereotypes.
That kind of stereotyping approaches in this DVTV should be avoided... Why can't we get along with each others and just be you! Take pride and believing in youself to create the video is the best solution. There is the list of the stereotype examples at the end of the video. Subscribe to DJDeafJoey.
