Deaf dancer auditions for SYTYCD

[garden_hoe21]

I thought people here might get a kick out of how Nigel (the white male judge with an English accent) "talks to" the auditioner. (Bonus points for "so inspiring! So brave!")

Shouldn't the subtitles have a capital D on Deaf? Maybe that's not a worldwide convention but when they're talking about "deaf community" in a positive way like that I'd have thought it would be a capital. Then again I probably shouldn't be expecting that much from something like that.

From what I know, capital-D Deaf is used when referring to Deaf culture; lowercase d is for the medical term.

And even then it's as much up in the air as any other "personal viewpoint on X disability" thing!

yeah that's about how I understood it
