This is a very sensible response. In fact we need to focus on sending out positive messages rather than reacting to negativity. Mindsets have to be changed through positive engagements rather than bitter encounters which will only worsen our status.

For that matter not even if cracked on terrorists, politicians and so on. They are all communities at the end of the day. It is insensitive for sure, but my thought is a revolt against this is just going to portray every visually impaired individual as someone on whom no fun can be poked at, which according to me is very dangerous. -- "Excuses are reasons only when there are no practical solutions to a problem."
