That’s an excellent point.
In any case, can’t the deaf see people clapping? Can’t they see people “whooping” and whatever? You don’t need to be able to hear to figure out what is going on.
On the other hand, as you pointed out, if they are at an event that requires being able to hear to know what is going on, it’s not the clapping that is a problem for deaf people.
That’s it!!! No more laughing
