[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ I'm the PP and [b]I'm saying this as a privileged white person[/b], not a person of color.

Of course you are; you are a Karen who thrives on things like this. Please don't tell me what is a mistake when it comes to raising my kids. You have no idea who I am or what my background is.

For the record, when I say that I am teaching my kids to be colorblind - of course we all "see" color, like I "see" that you are wearing a blue shirt or I can "see" that you are tall. But those traits have nothing more to do with who you are as a person, and the kind of person that you are and whether or not I want to be friends with you, than does the color of your skin. I'm sorry that you still judge, stereotype and categorize people on outward appearances such as this.  Perhaps one day you will evolve. [/quote]

[b]The fact that you are teaching your children colorblindness makes you a racist[/b].  Perhaps one day YOU will evolve.  [/quote]

Oh, please explain that one to us. This I can't wait to hear.[/quote]

+1  I'm confused. I thought our goal as a society was to become colorblind.  I say this as someone who is one of those shades of brown that everyone overlooks.[/quote]

NP, here. No, it's not. And I used to think that was the enlightened view as well, but now I'm a mom of biracial kids. And it's very, very important to "see" them, "see" their color and celebrate it. It denies their racial identity and almost suggests that it is something that is good to deny or ignore.  Because, as others have noted, we absolutely see color and often have unconscious bias about it. Many articles on this if you do a search and are curious to learn more. [/quote]
