I’m surprised nobody has said that they’re “color blind” yet.
Yeah another ridiculous thing. Now it is racist to for one to say they are “color blind”. That used to be a positive thing to be, now it is racist.
It’s not racist, per se, but it’s not helpful.
why isn’t being “color blind” helpful? Isn’t it the direct opposite of being racist?
It’s not that BEING color blind isn’t helpful. Of course it is. It’s that CLAIMING to be color blind isn’t helpful. It’s like being in a debate and saying “I’m right” - it just doesn’t help. It also conveys that one isn’t willing to discuss the possibility that one might have (inadvertently) done something racist.
