I'm not sure SNL is 'insensitive to the disabled', but from the article it sure sounds like they play up his blindness in a bumbling manner for the sake of a cheap laugh... though I'm not sure SNL has any other kind of laughs, so I suppose we take what we can get. If the guy doesn't like his blindness being mocked, I don't see a reason not to respect that, but obviously SNL is free to be as crass as it chooses.
