Yeah, and disabilities in general so unglamorous that I think nothing is likely to ever change. Black people have more numbers, it's a better brand, and it still didn't help. That's not to say that racial minorities are seen in a better light by society, or less unfairly maligned. It's just that they have average qualities, like the minorities. So "black charisma" is something that's always being artificially diminished. However, there were the athletes and the public figures. We're used to seeing great men, and it was obvious there was a scheme under way to keep people down. The "great men" (but not women) shine through; it's just like that other great thing we're used to seeing. Women are left out due to discrimination. Things are a little different for people with disabilities. If you're white, you have the weight of society behind you, but you're still in a bad spot relative to the rest. The brand is so bad you have to just not talk about it and "try to fit in". The incredibly frustrating part is bitter artists that really think I'm doing something TO them, because I'm miserable and see no way out. What are you going to say? You have the money and power. Lots of people that don't work in industry, don't seem to understand this is a load of bullshit. You're almost never actually doing the thing itself. I'll compare someone mastering records to an engineer, even many session players, but a ton of artists/DJs aren't doing menial work to achieve someone else's vision. They're not comparable to the salary worker. I want to see salary jobs in arts treated roughly like the rest, as well as options for people to see out their vision, with less immediate rewards. I digress, but hobbies, interests, and social networks don't work the same for me. So "quitting my job" would be akin to their agreeing to live alone on a dessert island.
