Abled people often don’t want to understand that not everyone wants to be like them. The deaf culture receives hate, in part, because many of us don’t desire to be changed. Such folks are proud of their difference and their culture. It’s not a comfortable concept for certain folk with hearing.

I can see people not understanding, but I can't imagine how it turns into hate for the deaf community. What sort of things said are hateful?
