Listen. White disabled people ARE racist and that lady should be held accountable for being grossly racist but the fact that "gypsy rose" is trending and everyone is calling her a faker for being able to to walk shows how deeply ableism is rooted in social justice circles
There are people in wheelchairs who can walk! And there are disabled people out there who a truly shitty, racist people! That woman was both those things!
And people mocking her disability is really really rubbing me the wrong way but I suppose she deserves it, it's just really disheartening to see everyone jump on the chance to make fun of disability as soon as it's "acceptable"
