Blind people are the victims of stereotypes
either thought of as super blinds
like stevie wonder and ronnie milsap,
people who can do no wrong or have supernatural gifts,
or they are thought of as helpless individuals
who are capable of doing almost nothing
except to sit in a corner
and just be an observer
and not really participate in the in the world.
And it's certainly hoped in the education by us in the blindness professions
that we can eliminate those stereotypes people
and people who are blind can be thought of as people first
and blind second.
