Today the physically disabled folks have many opportunities to partake in activities within the general society. The computer has opened avenues to be part of the mainstream despite of a physical disability. On Der Bay's Yiddish website the link is: http://www.derbay.org/disabled.html
The links and information are for the visually impaired and the hard of hearing. Being politically correct means that the words we used growing up are not in vogue. I guess I'm a little old-fashioned, but I must say some of them are more favorable.
Yesterday I heard a good one. Instead of Low Income Housing, the news term is Affordable Housing. Everyone wants to live within one's means, so I guess that is a good one. A tough one is a HUMAN. We don’t want to say huwoman and I don’t think a huperson is any better.
