I am one of those "spoiled brats" you speak of. I am glad we have laws like ADA, because if we (deaf) didn't, then we would not have the opportunities we have today. And mostly because of pea brained thinking people like you who are full of prejudices and biases.

And just like any affirmative action laws, people assume you are hired just because you are a member of a protected group.

When you identify yourself as a spoiled brat, are you saying that you are one of the people who protested a deaf woman who only learned sign language later in life? That's what I was talking about.

My first ex wife is blind, I hung out at the disabled students' association at the university where we met, and I saw all kinds of people 'tin cupping' the system. I'm immune to disability sympathy tricks.
