    How is this relevant to the post? ‘dumb’ isn’t on the list? I’m honestly struggling to see how the meme is ableist

      Common examples of ableist language are words like, “lame,” “dumb,” “retarded,” “blind,” “deaf,” “idiot,” “imbecile,’ “nuts,” “psycho,” and “spaz.”

      It is listed on page 1, paragraph 3.

        Huh I never knew dumb was ableist, I always thought it referred to a person’s decision making rather than intellectual ability
