This is your sign.

The lack of representation of American Sign Language in media and modern culture excludes the Deaf community. Even the U.S. Census groups ASL within English.

 

Advocacy groups like the National Association for the Deaf call on the Census to act on widespread acceptance of the language. This one clarification can uplift ASL to the many other first languages of the US.

 

So, how could we quip at the differences between English and ASL, while highlighting a message important to the community? Only through humor.
