The evidence I found surprising was blind community exists because of
government product orders?
as if only members of this blind community live in the States, and
that to belong some government must be providing your products?
Perhaps this is the "blind culture" mentioned here. I think it is
possibly a US phenomenon, although I do live here and don't consider
myself to be a part of it. But the thing is that the government here
likes to tell us what to purchase, and it's always the most expensive
product available, but they don't actually make the purchase, seeing as
how employers still hesitate to hire people who have visual challenges
or who are blind. The problem is that employers are also told what they
need to purchase for us - I saw this at my current job - and it's also
the most expensive products, and these simply don't work for everyone.
So yeah, I get it. There is a "blind community" and possibly a "blind
culture" as well, but it's a fabrication of governments and marketing
firms, not a real community that has grown organically.
