I’m not offended, I just think it’s stupid. After seeing more responses it just seems like a big semantics game anyway.

I know this is going to piss you off, but this is another example of your privilege showing. It’s not stupid or semantics to the people it affects.

I’m not pissed off. I acknowledge their problems, I just don’t want to attribute them to an entire race or gender and take personal responsibility for them.

I don’t know why you think we’re asking you to take responsibility for a black man getting beat up by a cop or a woman getting paid less for the same work as a man.

But these things do happen because of their race or gender. Their race or gender, not yours.

Warbler mentioned something that I want to touch on too. Colorblindness should be everyone’s goal. If nobody even gave a thought to people’s color, then humanity would be better off. I don’t see why that’s now racist to say, but I’m never going to stop saying it.

Yes, it should be everyone’s goal. But until we have equality, we can’t just pretend there aren’t problems, and saying “I’m colorblind” signals that to other people. We have to see color until seeing color is no longer necessary.
