The Flipside, a website which playfully addresses life as a deaf person generally, and in the US, specifically, in September 2007 publishes a video. We see a deaf person spotting someone signing on the street and approaching the person by asking "are you deaf?" The presenter then intervenes, saying "we must do something" about this "are you deaf?" question, and "need to come up with a different approach". Indeed, he says, this person could as well be any hearing person who knows ASL.
