The last time this went up, someone made a comment about disabilities being relatively rare. I wanted to add a point here:
In the United States in 2015, 11 percent of noninstitutionalized adults reported having a disability (National Council on Disability (NCD). The Current State of Health Care for People with Disabilities).
Disability in mobility and in cognition were most frequently reported (5 percent). Data from the 2009 to 2012 National Health Interview Survey found that 11.6 percent of United States adults 18 to 64 years of age reported a disability (defined as serious difficulty with hearing, vision, cognitive ability, or mobility [walking or climbing stairs]).(MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2014 May;63(18):407-13.)
That makes disability more than 5x more common than being a natural blonde.
