Tbf, the difference between blindness and sightedness isn’t always black and white. There is an actor at the theater I work with who uses a stick to get around, but he can read a script on his massive tablet with the text blown up real big and the brightness high enough.
Did Netflix have a publicity fail recently where they argued about how posting some flyers in a common area for employees was enough to satisfy some law?
(All I get from searching "Netflix" and "Blind" are news results for "Love is Blind").
They put out a casting call describing toph as a a character and encouraged visually impaired people to apply. It is a running gag in the series. I am unsure wether they used a description which might have helped their course.
