Thank god I have some hearing friends who know not to interfere while I'm signing (even though some still do). I'm a hearing student learning ASL and every time I sign with my friends I ignore others around me until I finish my conversation with my hearing/deaf/hoh friends. Sometimes I wish I were deaf so I can shut them off completely and concentrate on who I'm signing with. I've gotten, "That's extremely rude." "Stop signing and talk to me." "Hey! I know you can hear me." "I need to talk to you right now." Oh my god...it is the most annoying thing on the planet!
Re: Abby Kimmes, the point of this video is to show how hearing people are privileged, whether we sign or not. It's a hearing world, and more often than not, deaf people are left in the dark during conversations with hearing people. Not having your HOH friends voice interpret their convos for you is not the same thing.
Another hearing signer here! You guys bring up a great point! Though I've never had this happen to me, I'm not surprised it does. In hearing culture, it's rude to interrupt when someone else is talking...what makes hearing non-signers think it's okay in the D/deaf/HoH to interrupt or interfere???
This portrays one of my great frustrations as a hearing person who signs. When another hearing person wants to have a conversation while I'm OBVIOUSLY already signing with someone else. Sometimes I try to pull it off, but my head always falls apart quickly and I don't understand either person.
Being a CODA and an interpreter, the most common form of Audism i myself experience is Internalized Audism. 99% of discrimination i see day to day is inside the deaf communities themselves. But i suppose thats consistent with all cultures.
I get this too, but vice versa. I have oral conversations with hard of hearing people who sign and then feel excluded or "out of the joke" when they sign with others. So frustrating. Exclusion is no laughing matter.
Man oh man! I have witnessed people doing this to the deaf people I work with and even though I filled them in on the side conversation, sometimes at the tail end, because I was not there, I never understood why they were still uncomfortable. Oh wow that's awful. Thanks for opening my eyes.
What happened to the voice overs for the ASL impaired? I'm an ASL student who uses these videos to practice and pick up new signs. The voice overs really helped!
A great example done in a comical way- I absolutely HATE when hearing people come up to talk to me while I am signing..I won't even make eye contact with the hearing person who does it. I don't care if I come off as rude.
I am hearing but when I see people signing I will wait to talk to the person just like I would in any other conversation. I believe that people should understand that signing is a language just like Spanish or French. Wait your turn and don't be rude/inconsiderate. Please correct me if I'm wrong, this is just my personal opinion.
heyyyyyyyyyyyy you i hear ppl audism deaf why block or etc hearing not like deaf can asl but hearing talk other not deaf why like my family are full heaing audism me lot year i am deaf AND cerebral palsy in wheelchair that why it hurt me
The Deaf cultural as well as Drama that made them more pleasures in all scale of life. The movie on ASL for the Deaf is most important to the public in the US with aiming to understand the language of the Deaf.
You guys, oh god. Hilarious yet right place to hit the spot. Everybody goes through this, yet you demonstrate it perfectly. Just perfect.
This is TOO funny, on so many levels. Congrats, guys - you've done it again. Right at the heart of the matter, and laughing all the way.
