rampyourvoice: dailydot: #DisabilityTooWhite calls out media for not depicting disabled POC Visibility for disabled people is something many activists have been fighting for, and slowly things appear to be getting better. However, the hashtag #DisabilityTooWhite shows that often society’s views of disability are whitewashed. The hashtag was started by Vilissa Thompson, the founder of Ramp Your Voice, who tweeted it in response to an XoJane article about beauty and disability that only featured white women. Now many are chiming in on Twitter to shed light on how racism still infiltrates ideas about disability and medical care. I haven’t seen this post!! Yes!
