Hello, I'd like to ask native speakers if the following could be considered good English:
"Despite of the anti-discrimination legislation related to disabled people in Bulgaria, and the campaigns aiming at changing the attitude towards them, Bulgarians’ perception of disabled people is still inaccurate and stereotypical, which in turn gives rise to attitude of pity, indifference and negativism.
They are not treated equally at the labor market, either. The indifferent and passive attitude of Bulgarians towards disabled people has to do with the way disabled people perceive themselves: they treat themselves as passive receivers of social benefits. In practice, a great part of them continue to anticipate assistance in cash and in kind from the state, and do not try to be responsible for themselves, or to take initiative. "
