If You 'Don't See Color,' You Are Racist
Yes, I said it. Refusing to acknowledge the cultural differences and uniqueness of another ethnicity, background and history is disrespectful to them and their culture. The sentiment is often heard in retaliation to sensitive discussions regarding race, and is seen by non-marginalised folk as a way out of difficult conversations. An excuse for their inadvertent racist comments. "I have a black friend, so it’s okay." Is it really? Do you think your singular black friend approves of your disrespect to their identity?
