What do you mean when you say "imagine how that sounds to normal people" Are you saying I'm not a normal person?

[071816]

op, in what context do you envision religion and/or politics coming up in the work place? I'm curious.

I don't think religion would ever come up. What I'm saying is that during the OCI process, politics may come up. If the law firm is Liberal, and they see that I attended PHC for UG, I fear that I may be at a disadvantage. (Although I don't think it would matter if I went to HLS)

By the way, legally blind means being blind in both eyes moron. As I have said, I have no vision in my right eye, and limited vision in my left.

they are willing to hire LGBT people and women, but wouldn't even give me a shot. I am as much of a minority as those groups.

There are more women than blind people. You can't see them because you're blind, obviously, but you also can't hear them, because they don't speak to trolls.

You just mocked my visual impairment. You are trash, and I have proven morons like you wrong over and over again. This shows how childish TLS is. I make a valid point, and the putz mocks my visual impairment. All I was trying to say is that law firms should have NO right to discriminate against me because of my sight.( just as they have no right to discriminate against gays or women) Isaac Lidsky got A SCOTUS clerkship, and I will get Biglaw.

How many times do I have to say it? I am LEGALLY blind, NOT TOTALLY blind|

Yes, I get that. My point was that the people who wonder how someone who's blind (to whatever degree) can use a computer are stupid. I wasn't commenting on your abilities in any way.

And no one has said that law firms can legally discriminate against you.

i am legally blind, and have overcome challenges caused by my sight. All I am saying is that it would be quite hypocritical of law firms if they are willing to hire LGBT people and women, but wouldn't even give me a shot. I am as much of a minority as those groups.

You should use this line in an interview once you get to law school. Hell, go after the diversity scholarships and jobs. You are a minority. You should make them offer you. Legally blind Middle Eastern tea party conservatives deserve all the same advantages that other minorities receive. Can you believe all the one-legged Canadian green party liberals that firms hire to fill their diversity quotas?
