    What Would You Do? on ABC

    Did anyone see the episode last night on racial profiling? Quite interesting in lieu of all the states trying to copy AZ's law. If you missed it you can go to abc.com and click on the What Would You Do? link under shows. It is the Feb. 4 episode.

    There are also past episodes on biracial children and interracial dating.

    I saw one last year featuring a Muslim couple who were interested in buying a house and the discrimination some people expressed for them was awful.

    Did you see the Desperate Housewives episodes dealing with a Hispanic couple who were in America illegally? The episode when Gabby called immigration on the mother made me so angry she would do that for her own advantage.

    people do not think about discrimination against deaf folks, unless they are one or work with them.

    Anna--You are right. I had a deaf co-worker/friend a couple years ago and it taught me a lot!

    Monica-I did see that DH episode. Gabby is a b****. Whatelse can I say?

    Ana- very very true.. I had a deaf step sister when I was growing up and am fluent in ASL it is very sad how they are treated. When I worked at zales in Houston my co-workers would try and ignore our deaf customers because they couldn't handle not being able to talk and have seen people screaming at them like that would make them hear.
