    My parents are deaf, and I’ve been around deaf people my entire life. Some are quiet, by choice. Others – most, actually – don’t care what they sound like, and are very expressive vocally. They may sound strange to some because they can’t hear themselves and often sound too loud, or their words are slurred or muffled. Some can speak quite clearly (think of actress Marlee Matlin). Most are middle of the road and hard to understand by those who don’t know them.

    It does exist. My dad lost a job to a less qualified black woman because the hospital he applied to had a quota to meet and she was a black woman and he was a white male.
