Re: Discrimination at a County Fair
@Lucas,
I'm not sure of that law. I don't know laws like that either. I just feel unconfterble, because the support guys don't seem to understand me and don't want to discuss matters like these, same goes to most of the security offers. I tried to ask them what their fears are, but it only works in the Heidepark, somehow you can discuss with some of them about it and if they can't find any cons anymore, what else should they do?
@Dark,
I hate people who talk to a blind person as to a kid! Although it doesn't happen to much in Marburg, because people are confronted with blind people everyday, so they know how to communicate in the right way, at least in my opinion.
However, there are a few people who don't seem to understand. There was a lady guiding me through obstacles. She was making strange, quiet noises while guiding me, hand in hand like she was guiding a small kid! Since things like that are pissing me off very quickly,
depending on how long I need to interact with people like her, I got a little unpolite to her, but still I tried to be polite enough to tell her to go away. She finally agreed to let go of me, but then, to my greatest horror, I went into the completely wrong direction! So I turned around to go all the way back, into my actual direction, but what do you know, a surprised lady who just left me alone, appeared out of nowhere, asking me "Hey, I thought ya goin' home?" I was just pissed off and told her in a kind of angry voice that I have forgotten a meeting with someone and tried to get away from her as quickly as possible! Luckily, she didn't follow me.
But a few weeks later, a well known lady picked me up, saying "Hey, I've met ya some time ago, but you seemed to be a little angry that day". I actually had to stop myself from laughing!
In my primary location, when I was about 6 years, my mother was guiding me and someone suddenly shouted over to us "Hey, what's wrong with that boy?" It pissed me off, because I was wondering why he didn't ask me instead of my mother.
But usually, I don't have too much problems communicating with people. Especially people around my age ask me about blindness, when they meet me for the first time. I was once waiting for the train to arive, when some people around my age asked me whether they could help me boarding the train. I really apreciated that and agreed. They were asking me how I know where I am, when being blind, or if it is bad to be blind. Someone of that group said "Hey, stop that, I'm sure he feels unconfterble now!" I turned around to her and told her not to worry about my confterbleness, you may keep asking if you wish. They continued asking me about various things and even she started asking a little careful, however, it was pretty funny at the end and I didn't feel unconfterble about any questions.
It's good
that people ask and not believe in things they heard on the web, TV, or other persons.
There are a lot of stereotypes out there and it's allways nice to clear them up.
