Concerning the following 2 videos, I've sent a complaint to YouTube via their contact service page:

I am very disappointed you would allow these videos to remain posted and online. Those videos are just as offensive as racist videos. Those 2 videos posted are pretty much categorized as Hate videos.
I would like to show you what the similarities are so you'll have a better understanding how offensive it can be:
hearing person mocks and makes fun of Deaf person
white person tease and taunt a black person
YouTube, are you willing to allow such videos mar and scar your reputation with the Deaf community? You want bad press? I hope you guys will do the right thing and take those offensive videos offline!
Sincerely yours,
Philip Mecham
I can only sit back and wonder when they'll listen or do something about it. Only time will tell! And, if other Deaf people sent in the same complaint to YouTube, then, maybe they'll listen and quickly remove the 2 videos.

Did you get anything back from Youtube about those videos? They really should do something about those; they'd some pull them if she was being racist. Maybe the deaf community is not a hot enough potato for them to be bothered about.

No, they never got back with me. I am sure other Deaf people haven't emailed YouTube and complained about it as well.
I did my part. What about everyone else???
