> I could spend all week sending emails to websites who discriminate and exclude people like me, from every ethnic group, who can read. And I have sent many, with simple practical solutions. 
> 
> Who can I contact to educate all websites designers about how to make a few simple changes to websites so we can read them, or buy their products. I am left dumbfounded that this obvious and basic need is ignored. But I am not blaming them completely, I don’t know what I don’t know.

> Could you please help direct me to where I can be the person to help change this unnecessary oversight ?
