#DisabilityTooWhite [View all]

Saw this hashtag on another forum and thought it was a hoax. Turns out it's an actual thing.

I can agree that there is a lack of visibility for disabled minorities in some publications; but some of the tweets ive seen are just unbelievably bigoted and reek of oppression olympics. What do you all think of this?
