The Lucky Few

312. Ellie Goldstein On Celebrity Dance Competition


Listen Later

Ellie Goldstein is the first person with Down syndrome to ever be on the cover of British Vogue. She’s also the first person with DS to ever be on the show, “Strictly Come Dancing” — basically UK’s equivalent of “Dancing With The Stars!” Naturally, the internet has A LOT of opinions about it. Today we’re diving into a Facebook post full of ableist comments disguised as empathy. And we’re wondering:

  • Would these comments be made about a celebrity without an intellectual disability?

  • What is the difference between supporting someone with DS and infantilizing them?

  • How do we change people’s minds about this?

  • This is a good one, friends! We’d love to hear what you think!
