I understand why you interpret it that way, but that wasn’t my intention. I was just trying to point out how people in these two marginalized groups (stutterers and African-Americans) tend to feel that they have to hide or fix something about themselves in order to get ahead in society due to the prejudiced nature of society. For example, black people often feel the need to code-switch in work environments and black women often feel that they have to straighten their hair, just as stutterers feel the need to switch words or avoid speaking so that others don’t view them as less intelligent or make fun of them. I was advocating for there to be more representation of people who are unapologetic about their stutter, just as there is now lots of representation of successful black people who don’t submit to the demands of a racist society.
