I guess that I am here on an agenda of my own. However, I felt that maybe my outside, existential point of view may be of some relevance to this post.
I grew up in a multicultural household with both siblings and parents of diverse ethnicities. It was this un-colorblind upbringing that cultivated or cultured my reality. To be colorblind is to ignore the aesthetic display of a cultures beauty. Therefore, isn’t it more of a racist standpoint to be colorblind? Is it not the racists that usually hide behind a cloak of colorblind-ed-ness…?
I am proud to celebrate our society’s diversity; I do not shy away from it by using coy words like colorblind. I am not referring to you directly, this is more of a general question but; if you were of an ethnicity of a darker skin tone and felt that your skin color was beautiful; would you appreciate someone else telling you that they are colorblind and cannot or do not want to see your color.
That is how I understand the word colorblind and what I believe it to mean in its literal sense.
