I never thought about seeing people thrilled to see someone else who simply alike. I am saying black to black, deaf to deaf or Arabic to arabic, etc.
Let’s say here. On the plane, I was sitting at the window with a big white guy sitting in middle and black guy on sat aisle. He talked to the black guy. Black guy just nobs and talk little. I watch across from us. White lady in middle talks to black lady at the window and nobs at her. I am wondering what everyone talks about. Hehe. Of course, I am quiet but making noise because I am restless! Lol
Today, I watched people at fast food for breakfast. The cashier is black and the customer is also black. Their behavior were awesome to see each other and talk like best friends or something. I could see myself chatting deaf people like we are friends! Fact, we never meet like that. I am sure they had this situation in their own world like that.
Funny. Back to airplane. I sat at the window on the other side. I had a lady on the aisle until the old lady decided to sit middle between us. She started to talk to me. I was like, nods, and smiling, not response back. I was like, oops! She does not know I am deaf and not talking. Same thing as the white guy talked to the black guy.
Hearing people talking to deafies, and they just nod and smile at them. Oh my! I knew deafies have different types of their behaviors. Some are good, nice, and respectful. Some are snob, attitude, and mean. Diversity like LGBTQ and the color of races are alike.
You faced yourself? Good to hear!
