A controversial new public service announcement from Cartoon Network encourages children to "see color" when they look at other kids. Only by looking through the lens of color, it says, can a person learn to be anti-racist.
"It's important to see people in all their beautiful colors. When you see color and the unique experiences that come from it, you can recognize the role racism plays in our culture and appreciate everyone and their diversity," reads the description of the ad written by the creator of "Steven Universe."

In the ad, a white and black character, along with a purple alien are enjoying a song.
"Colorblindness is our game because everyone's the same," say the song's lyrics. "Everybody join our circle, doesn't matter if you're white, or black, or purple."
At that point, the purple alien asks who is responsible for writing the song before offering up an objection.
"I think it kind of does matter that I'm purple," the alien named Amethyst says. "I mean, I'm purple because I'm literally an alien."
The black character then agrees, noting that even those she's not an alien, "it definitely matters to me that I'm black."
The white character then concurs, by acknowledging her privilege. "Yeah, it makes a difference that I'm white," she says before looking at the black girl. "I know the two of us get treated very differently."
The dialogue turns even more dramatic as the white girl continues, referencing the inclusion of a purple alien in the "colorblind" song as an intentional distraction.
"I think people like the black, white, or purple thing, because adding a fantasy race in there helps distract from the actual racism black people have to deal with," she lectures.
The black girl explains that different people of color experience different forms of racism, "but you won't see any of that if you don't see color."
The woke ad ends with the title graphic telling kids, "See color, be anti-racist!"
Cartoon Network turned off comments for the video on their YouTube page, but the video has received almost 1,000 more dislikes than likes.

I’ve actually been to the CN offices here in Hollywood. They’re 90% white, those in exec positions. It’s plain and simple liberal white guilt. PLus, they’re mostly faggots and obama worshippers.
George Soros.
Evil evil man. Cant wait until worms are feasting on his guts.
Be Racist!
Yay!
>>”Yeah, it makes a difference that I’m white,” she says before looking at the black girl. “I know the two of us get treated very differently.”
How are white people treated in China, Africa, South America, Pakistan-India, etc?
More favorably than the locals or less favorably?
That would have benefited them in the long run.
oh my gosh.
wow.
I was quite surprised that was on YouTube.
They don’t want a color blind society, they want a color blinded society.
Networks are required to run PSA’s...
OUR side could make them just as easily - but we don’t.
Rather than whining why don’t we make a few...
Well, my brother and I had a heated discussion recently about miscegenation — in the form of my mixing in an old pair of jeans into a washer load of white towels. As for people having different skin color, who the Hell in their right mind genuinely cares about that?
Anyone that doesn't believe in a color-blind society is the racist.
Well, that explains Steven Universe and Clarence.
“Only by looking through the lens of color can a person learn to be anti-racist.”
Makes
No
Sense
If white-on-black racism is replaced with black-on-white racism, nothing has been accomplished, and precedent is established to revert back to the former.
And for their next act the advanced classes every kid gets a bar code on the forehead and a scanner.
