What's with all this "fetishizing their culture" stuff popping up? It's not just this secret, I've seen it on F!S pertaining to a whole bunch of different concepts and practices. I don't get it. How is being interested in sign language fetishizing their culture? Deaf people use sign language. It's not something they have sole jurisdiction over FFS. They probably wish MORE people knew ASL, so they could have a better chance of meeting someone they can communicate easily with. If you think ASL is cool, learn it. You're not taking anything away from deaf people. Hell, it might come in really handy some day.

To me, this seems like a really futile attitude when dealing with the relationship of a larger culture to a minority culture. There's no way to win. If you're hostile or condescending to the culture, you're (rightly) considered a privileged asshole, if you're indifferent to the culture you're a privileged asshole, and if you're actually interested in the culture and want to learn, apparently you're fetishizing.


Yeah, if it's just "Emmett's so cute!!!," that's a pretty shallow reason and the person will probably drop it anyway, but it's a good thing if the show has sparked a genuine interest.
