The ABC-TV's popular network television, "Desperate Housewives" done such an offensive mockery toward deaf people in the #20 episode of Season Six - "Epiphany". The alcoholic single mother mocked her own teenage son for being thankful about not dating anyone deaf, blind and crippled and snided at him for wooing the daughter of Republican caterer out of his league. That son turned turned into a male teenage serial killer at the fictional Wisteria Lane. http://www.tv.com/desperate-housewives/epiphany/episode/1335656/summary.html?tag=ep_guide;summary
Why Marc Cherry, the writer of "Desperate Housewives" thought that way about deaf people being undesirable for being dated with? Cherry wrote the hilarous and memorable part for deaf actress Marlee Matlin for the Season Three - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdhXmLtBLQY
What turned the writer into the anti-deaf or "hate crime" against deaf people?
