Kalalau's Korner: Third Kind of Tolerance in Deaf Hate Crime

The meaning of tolerance is to be able to put up with somebody or something. Basically, you do not like this person or thing, but you will deal with him or it. In the other words, you can tolerate him or it. Some people can tolerate someone joking about “flying monkeys (see the December 9th hate speech text below),” while others can hardly tolerate an “odd balls” joke. But they all can’t tolerate a death or "no balls" joke.

Damn -- I find the 'ism overrated. The 'ism has gone overboard just like those horde of flying monkeys in Wizard of Oz.
