Did you ever hear the words “we need to be a “colorblind society”?
In the context of this class, it doesn’t mean the same thing as a person who cannot literally see different colors. In fact, we could expand the phrase to say, in the context of diversity, that it means “difference doesn’t matter”.
So, when politicians, educational or legal institutions use these words, it usually has something to do with differences of color, in the case of “colorblindness”. (Or gender, class, sexual orientation or physical challenges in the case of other biases). The assumption is that it is a helpful and correct way to see ourselves as a country. But it is NOT helpful!
So:
1. What is the meaning of “color blindness” (or “difference doesn’t matter”) with regards to diversity?
2. Is it actually a valuable strategy for ending racism (or sexism, or any other bias)?
