Why do interviewers always want to make Nyle DiMarco cry?

Mic’s Evan Ross Katz sat down with Nyle Dimarco, winner of cycle 22 of “America’s Next Top Model’ and season 22 of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ to discuss the importance of including deaf people in conversations around diversity, why he wouldn’t do “Top Model” again if asked (despite winning the damn thing), what it’s like dating while deaf, how the fashion industry is doing in its efforts to better cater to people with disabilities and why he’d make a better Hawkeye in “The Avengers” than Jeremy Renner.

Translators work with frozen texts such as written material or videos. Someone who works with language relay in real-time is called an interpreter.

[@melissamartinez4672]

Period

[@jesse382]

The interpreter is sooo good! I’m an interpreting student right now, but I did notice that at 8:17 Nyle says he went to “Maryland school for the deaf, one of the best schools in the country” but the interpreter said “Maryland is one of the only deaf school in the country”

[@hannahrosereviews5073]

He is NOT a translator! He's an interpreter! Also, the interpreters do not need to be shown on camera in this type of a situation! I should know! I am one!

[@cecilialupiccolo]

im an interpreter too, i personally agree with you but a little recognition for our hard work is not bad! :)

[@destynihamilton1503]

I love how he's always smiling it makes me want to smile as well

[@priscillacastro4631]

Smiles bring the best of a model however it also depends on the photographers on whatever emotions he wants from you to create and display. Nyle is amazingly full of emotions.

[@latoyanicholson1025]

I love this man. First saw him the other day on Station 19 season 2 finale and then realized after that he was on ANTM cycle 22 so went and watched it. I'm so happy he won. He's such a genuine person.

[@tory2631]

CAPTION ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS!!! Ironic that you delve into this ableist dialogue with Nyle DiMarco himself, and you, Mic, neglect to caption all of your videos! Make a commitment to it, and you'll see results!

[@tory2631]

I’m talking about Mic’s other videos. I’m aware this video has captions, but the other videos like the video about Nyle being in the Marvel videos doesn’t...?!

[@sindhujap7111]

When you try to see what he's signing but he signs so fast that his hands are a blur 😲

[@4NateTheGreat4]

That or the camera pans to get a better view of him but his hands go off picture in the process.

[@nettananni5451]

What an awesome interview! I really like the depth you present in you questions and how they reflect the person you are interviewing!

[@ellenreza7207]

Proud of you !!😊❤️👍🏼

[@xoxo_angieo]

This was one of the best interviews I have seen! The questions were extremely intelligent and deep - I appreciated the lack of superficiality. Excellent interview!!!

[@silversweet9211]

i love this man he is an inspiration.

[@devils2727]

Nyle is a great inspiration. He has a great outlook and I wish him much success. He so beautiful and always smiling. How could you not smile back :).

[@CsxShareeta]

You are so inspiring! I really loved that fact that I was able to find my passion for ASL interpreting!

[@klwl]

A great, broad-ranging, yet in-depth and intimate interview - thanks!!

[@worldwonderland5900]

His ignorance in the questions make me sick but Nyle handled it so gracefully

[@taralang8854]

he has the most beautiful eyes.

[@beccadehart7385]

1) Thank you for captioning this. It'd be great if all your videos were captioned. 2) Someone converting American Sign Language to English (&/or vice versa), is referred to as an "Interpreter", not a 'translator'. 3) Your decision to cut away to show the Nyle's interpreter speaking was an EXTREMELY poor & disrespectful one. A simple on- screen text indicating "voice of interpreter" would've been enough. If you wouldn't pan away from an English speaker answering a question, then you shouldn't do so for an ASL user answering a question.

[@SKerri12]

Becca Messenger So annoying when I get called a translator! What interpreters do is way different than what translators do!

[@guillermo090986]

Your number 3 is some sort of giving credit to the interpreter. By knowing how much I know of Nyle, it was his decision to have that done that way. Good day

[@kaberus7565]

He's like a Greek god.

[@musicchick8133]

Why is this guy so handsome?

[@albusdumbledore4336]

Because he is.

[@weyersr]

This was a great interview. Intellectual questions and smart answers. MIC should have thanked Nyles interpreter in the credits.

[@michaelmiller1215]

The most beautiful eyes, and hotter than the sun!

[@pokerface7744]

This was a VERY good interview. The only one way it could have possibly been better was if the interviewer asked the questions and interacted in ASL. Would have made their conversation a lot more organic. But I do realise that's perhaps too much to ask. Great interview nonetheless! I love Nyle!

[@missygugu]

Fanning out, and fanning my face

[@lilianmiramontesjr.7550]

He was an interpreter and there was no reason to pan away from Nyle...

[@lauraborelious]

How about adding subtitles to make this accessible to Deaf people? Why would you pan to the interpreter and not add subtitles when Nyle was talking? Come on, man.

[@keftkey]

There are

SALUDOS EXITOS Y BENDICIONES NYLE DIMARCO , SALUDOS DESDE GUAYAQUIL - ECUADOR , SIGO TU CARRERA DESDE QUE GANASTE ANTM , SABES QUE DESDE EL PRIMER DIA QUE TE VI EN ANTM SABIA QUE IBAS HACER EL GANADOR Y NO ME EQUIVOQUE , FELICIDADES , DIOS TE BENDIGA , EXITOS NYLE

[@anna-louiselong9281]

really wish more of the questions focused on parts of this performer that arent just his deafness.. like i appreciate calling attention to the lack of deaf representation in film etc BUT the interviewer asks one question about tokenizing and then basically tokenizes him...

[@KoriEmerson]

Ohhhhhhh DON"T EVER Call a Deaf person disabled.. WOW.. My jaw HIT the floor . WOOF

[@jscottcalder]

I'm involved with the Deaf community so I fully understand the words 'disability and Deaf ' don't mix ON ONE HAND but ON THE OTHER HAND many Deaf are happy to accept DA. Pension, so when it's convenient they will accept the term. This of course has to do with the mentality of being an 'oppressed minority group' so if 'your're going to oppress me and label me disabled and then pay me for it, why not....you owe me for all the oppression and blocked access.' Often this oppression is perpetuated when Deaf children are taught from day one, 'don't trust hearing people, they are the oppressor'.

[@veroncagodoysoy1230]

Hola A mi soy no se mano

[@saralynnlaponzina6409]

If u want to help the deaf community keep the translator and nyle in all the shots

[@brookreed9621]

He was a great interviewer. The questions were actually challenging and probing v. just gossiping

[@vikkiegallon2405]

Nyle I'm not deaf but my daughter took ASL in high school and it was such an interesting language I would love to learn more can you teach me.

[@DM-bj8wt]

So Nyle's birthday?

[@iangie7397]

Y'all, c'mon.. translator? You should've know better. I know a lot of people in the comments have already explained why, so I'll just say that it should've been "interpreter".

[@tylere1102]

Bruh. this interview sucks. The fact that they couldn't widen the view to see Nyle and Evan is irritating. The fact they called his interpreter a translator and he continued to say "disabled." and that not all their videos are captioned??? come on yall. Yall can do so much better

[@laurahetzel7457]

it's very cringey to watch this interviewer repeatedly assume a life of loneliness and despair simply because Nyle is Deaf. and all the information out there on Nyle, and what he speaks here, shows you a person who grew up surrounded by community and access to the world. The interviewer does not have knowledge or understanding of Deafness and how it differs from the DA community. a Deaf reporter would have been way more interesting :)

[@Popunkwillneverdie]

The sign language joke was you???? That's not funny

[@Cyndimclaughlin]

How many times is this guy going to say disability?

[@vista_clinic]

Cos he is white or something. Omg he has blue eyes. Seems like a nice guy for a white.

[@reisbob7786]

What. ?

[@luna.37]

WTH?!
