Social:Blind culture
From HandWiki
Blind culture is the shared cultural experience among people who are blind. People who are not blind often imagine that people who are blind share a cultural identity in the way that other minority groups with shared experiences have a distinct culture.[1] Various blind commentators have responded to this perception by explaining that more commonly, blind people integrate with the broader community and culture, and often do not identify blindness as a defining part of their culture.[2][3][4]
People who are blind share the cultural experience of experiencing common misunderstandings from people who are not blind.[5]
