Audists or Audism Behavior? (Part I of II)

This is a part one of two vlog to discuss about my experiences encountering several ignorant hearing people who made statements that exhibit audism behavior. Discussion takes place by looking at situations on how we are to deal with these kinds of audism behavior and how are we to describe situations by identifying the behavior rather than labeling the individuals audists.

I have been in the same situation before, and again. thanks for the vlog!

THANK YOU!! This is exactly the vlog I have been waiting for. It's so common for people to label someone audist when really they are just ignorant. I am going to share this with as many people as I can. :)

There are so many prejudices and assumptions in this world. It's hard to be always battling them. It's frustrating when you can predict the next thing someone will say because it's based some sort of stereotype that they never questioned. The best thing to do is try to keep calm and lead the person to think more about what they are thinking/saying.

culture like that, I just do not have knowledge how to convince her that we are different that we would not understand thier kind of story involved with the sounds. like ""a chariot was running around with black and white and to be angered with trust, blood, and fear, therefore this chariot shall fly,"" what is that, I will never understand this writing.

Can you direct me what I would need to show that to her to make her understand our culture, thanks for your time, you are beautiful, Willy

Very beautiful speech, I know that there should be a way to show them how we would live, what has happened is that one of our discussion in other forum, that lady brought up the author that can write something to do with sound that I will never understand, my questions how can I explain that to her or perhaps to show her something, any idea or advice? it is frustrated like you has stated that this neighbour refused to allowed you to be on your own culture. lady just told me that it is no

We are discussing audism in my intro to interpreting class. I am going to tell my teacher about your vlog; it is really insightful. Thanks!

I imagine that must drive you guys nuts?

Its a good idea you label the behavior in this video rather than target the people. A lot of it sounds like sloth and insensitivity on our part.

I mean, if you don't know ASL and the deaf person can read lips, communication problem solved. Writing down phrases is frustrating.

I wanna learn ASL one day but its pretty hard to do.

I'm sure I've done all those things without meaning to hurt feelings of the person. ;-). Blush. How should a person act?
