Lol at all the butthurt over minorities asking white people to check their privelage.
Sure, teaching colorblindness is great, but that is not the reality minorities live in. It's easy for white people to say we should teach colorblindness, because we live in a world where their skin color isn't an impediment. The fact is that skin color still creates a huge divide in how people are treated and the opportunities available, and insisting we just teach colorblindness is ignoring the fact that minorities constantly face obstacles that white people do not.
That may not be the popular opinion here, but that's my $0.02.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
