(517) No Way (1) (5) Every fifth page in a school textbook has a kid in a wheelchair just so they don't "offend" anyone, amirite? says T3canolis on Jul 10th 10 in Other (#195502) Yeah You Are! (26) No Way (3) (0) +627 Why do all textbooks feel the need to put a person in a wheelchair on every other page? amirite? says relisabeth12 on May 24th 10 in School (#91877) Yeah You Are! (651) No Way (24) (0) +26 There are always pictures with kids in wheelchairs in old math textbooks, amirite? says REBEKKAH on May 10th 10 in Mobile (#74559) Yeah You Are! (26) No Way (0) (0) Dear textbook companies, stop trying to damn hard to keep all the pictures racially correct. Not every group of kids have a black boy, a kid in a wheelchair, a white girl, and an indian. .. you're just making it worse. amirite?

The OP is contrasting the # of real children in wheelchairs to the number of ones in textbooks. These are not the same.

There's always a black kid, an asian girl, two white kids, a mexican kid and then a ginger in a wheelchair. Always.
