I hear you. The same goes for deaf children being born to hearing adults. The treatment they get often is horrifying, yet being deaf myself, I understand the horror of the parent. "how the hell am I supposed to talk with my child, how can I raise it..."
World is equally dismissive of deaf people, adults and children alike, especially those who choose to sign rather than to speak and try to hear, which is often futile.
Sign language is exceedingly cheap and every single one of us can learn it from birth and even earlier than spoken languages. It is the de facto, noninvasive linguistic solution for all deaf children But we as a society dismiss it immediately because, hubris and interia of social norms. the same is for preventation of autism.
I know two loving parents who give all of their time to two of their autistic children, but I can see their effort take toll on them. They cannot go anywhere without their children throwing a fit. It is sad. It is a struggle for us all. Especially you!
The same is true for deaf children whose parents neglect them over dinners, over events, the deaf child is alone and neglected. We have fought for more awareness in the last hundred years, and its slowly getting better, but the stigma is still there.
But do I blame the "white man"? It is baseless and reductive to "Skin Color". That's why nothing ever moves forward. Because we keep on criticizing the ownership of skin pigmentation.
It is baseless to label the whole light-skinned party for the vain crimes of greed and prescriptive thought.
Rather, I blame the rich, ego-filled man. The rich, ego-filled people who are the criminals. The people with a western view of the world, dismissing all the richness of humanity for riches of cash and vanity. The western thought.
