[Blindtlk] blind people being loners

[Desiree Oudinot]

To expand on this message, I'll venture to say that the question would
not even come up if we were discussing sighted people. If you met a
group of sighted people who happened to be loners, would you go around
thinking that all sighted people must be loners? Probably not. By the
same token, I think we sometimes fall into the trap of lumping all
blind people into one category because we happen to be a minority.
Just be careful with the judgments you make, though, because most
minority groups don't appreciate being stereotyped.
