I have to admit I find it somewhat humorous to see different minority groups facing off with one another. I especially liked these comments....
Critics labelled the move as silly, saying that the producers were interfering with "deaf culture".
Polly Smith, the acting chairperson of the British Council for Disabled People, said the changes were a form of discrimination.
"The program makers at Channel 4 are interfering with deaf people's language, culture and view of society, and that is a form of discrimination," she said.
Now that the supporters of political correctness are targeting sign language, they are suddenly "interfering with deaf culture" which - naturally - is discrimination.
Oddly enough, I don't remember any groups being concerned with the interference of "spoken language cultures" when the push for political correctness became so prevalant.
