  The definition of color blindness I’m using is ignoring race and treating everyone the same in spite of it. If you’re using a different definition, tell me what it is and I can engage you based on that. If you’re just going to be condescending to me, I might as well just not engage with you at all.

  The colorblind route is how we got here. It has allowed white supremacists to operate under our noses while the people pretending to be colorblind give them the benefit of the doubt when they do their racist dog whistles. You see it even now with some of my countrymen trying to say Elon is just being autistic when he throws out a Nazi salute. We’ve been taking the colorblind route for decades and the only way we’ve been able to fight back is to listen to the minorities that are here and build our communities around celebration of our differences. I’m not going to treat everyone the same because the reality is that we are not all the same. Everyone has their own quirks and experiences and neuroses. I treat everyone how they want to be treated because that is how I respect their individuality. Everyone has the potential to teach me important things I don’t know.

  Pretending to be colorblind doesn’t make one colorblind. Americans have largely adopted an ideology of anti-racism. That is, acknowledge that racial biases exist and keep the door open for healthy conversations. You may try to ignore the fact that racial biases exist but doing so only perpetuates them.

  Especially labelling 30% “soso” and 40% “ok”. Unless they are bussing my tables, they get 0%. Otherwise it’s 15-20.

  As a gay man who passes as straight, you can get a lot of gal pals just by treating women as friends instead of potential partners. A lot of women don’t really need a relationship, they just want a friendship.
