When you are not careful to avoid making assumptions about people's disabilities, don't you think that's equivalently bad, intentional?

- icebraining 10y agoYou can't avoid making assumptions in this context, you can only try to make better ones.
- gugagore 10y agoOkay, fine. "harmful assumptions".
- Greed 10y agoIt isn't about people making assumptions about his disability, though, it's about people not making the assumption that he does have one. Doesn't surprise me at all to see that today's super individualistic people didn't think twice about minding their own business when they see what appears to be just a guy with his dog. For all they know it's just a therapy animal, because he doesn't -look- blind.
