[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I liked it, but the wheelchair/ handicap jokes were in very poor taste.  I am a wheelchair user and it just stings. I like Mindy Khaling and I liked this show, but it's very lame and old to have it be socially acceptable to make these kind of jokes (hey FDR). In 2020 it's time to just have a character in a wheelchair just be treated like a regular character (like in Raising Dion).  [/quote]

For better or worse, that would not be representative of what it's like to be a disabled teen. Kids are cruel. We should be allowed to tell stories that reflect reality. The kid that makes that joke isnt portrayed in a positive light [/quote]

Are you a disabled person?  Maybe watch Crip Camp to see what some of us have had to go through.  Disabled people are just people.  I don’t need ableism to discredit my complaint.   We are the last group where it is still socially acceptable to be treated “separate but equal” even today. No kids don’t go around calling people FDR. [b]And many people in wheelchairs today aren’t dying to be able to walk[/b].  The jokes were bad and give license to viewers to continue to treat us in this way.

Do you have jokes against Jews, blacks, gays?  I mean are kids are cruel, NBD right?[/quote]

There are jokes about those other groups.  The lead said she wished that a Jewish kid was killed by the Nazis.  So, very interesting choice there on your part.

And, if given the choice, the vast majority of people in a wheelchair would prefer to be able to walk.  [/quote]
