That’s why we need to stop doing it. Maybe it’s too hard to do idk but it makes me feel uncomfortable when people see me or others as a color.

Yes, that’s exactly it. In a world where a man can wrongfully accuse Haitian migrants, people of color, of eating pets and not only get away with it but be elected president, it is too hard. I under that it’s uncomfortable but asking people to try to pretend race doesn’t matter is like asking telling a runner to keep running on a broken leg. When injuries are really bad you have to acknowledge the damage, sometimes for a long while, before it heals away.

Giving up on changing certainly also isn’t the solution. We always need to stay optimistic and try our best to better ourself

You will note that I never advocated for giving up. Huge difference between informed healing and giving up.
