------- Additional comments from dar...@openoffice.org Wed Sep 22 12:46:21 +0000 2010 ------- ADA webpage isn't easy to understand. But I've found this http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1944632 that does some recap on the US situation: Are color blind people handicapped? On One Hand: Not According to the ADA Color blindness is not among the disabilities listed by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Businesses and governments are not required to make accommodations for color blind employees and customers, nor are color blind people protected from discrimination. On the Other: It Does Affect Lifestyle and Opportunities. Depending on severity, color blindness can limit or make more difficult many daily activities such as choosing clothes or creating art. Also, many jobs rely on accurate color vision and some, especially in the military and public service, specifically exclude people with color blindness. Bottom Line It depends on your definition of 'handicapped'. Color blindness does affect the lifestyle and opportunities of people afflicted with it. However, it is not legally defined as a handicap or disability in the United States. Too bad :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
