Question

Disability hate crimes: does anyone really hate disabled people?

Answer 1

Sadly yes. As we look into history at Hitler and even the segregation in America, we see a common factor. That one group was different. Which scares people. People may be raised to hate certain ethnicity or religions. If you have seen the movie "Radio" then you may find that even kids with mental problems are even picked on throughout history. Some people are just messed up in the head and think because someone is different they dont belong. Which is wrong.

Answer 2

You’d be surprised. There are articles and evidence out there that shows abuse towards the disabled. Just look up abuse in nursing/elderly homes. It’s disgusting. And there are debates over whether we should treat mentally handicapped people equally to “normal” people (like, should we pay them the average wages as normal people?). It’s sad, but this hate is still here.
