Do not take such prejudices seriously. Many other groups in society also experience the same. All Rikshaw Walahs are "Bhaiya". All those who cannot speak English are backwards. And so on. There goes a saying: If you dislike something and cannot change it, accept it. If you can make a change in society, carry on. So we have only two options. Be happy and smile on such persons who are full of prejudices.
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Minar Singh Sent: 25 April 2023 06:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AI] Why people make false assumptions about Visually Impaired person? Hello everyone, I feel upset when someone assume something about me because i'm a visually impaired. oneof my Colleagues said that He assumed that i'm good at singing. I didn't like the way he spoke. Why can't people understand that Visually impaired people are unique and they can have different choices. Not every Visually Impaired person would like to sing. I had face a similar issue while traveling. Sighted guy associted singing with Visually impaired for begging purpose. I was not alone. I have developed hatred for film songs because of these experience. I do follow spiritual music. Is this our identity in society? I will request everyone to give up singing. We can change society's perception by educating and using technology for independent living as much as possible. -- What’s most important is to put the person first, the disability second Because we all are people first. -- Disclaimer: 1.
