Halle Berry's black, but she's not black, y'know?
Two people discussing the Gallaudet protests:
Guy: Yeah, it would be like Howard appointing a white dude as president.
Girl: Yeah, I have a lot of sympathy for them. I mean, that woman isn't even deaf. I mean, yeah, she's deaf, but not deaf, y'know?

Maybe this person meant:
"I mean, yeah, she's deaf, but not def, y'know?"
Homonyms can be tricky!
This site is hysterical. So pointed and so intelligent.
Thank you so much.
She's "deaf" but not "Deaf" as in "Deaf Culture".
Ah well, glad that's all over and I can stop caring about deaf/Deaf people again.
