The word racist is a meaningless invective at this point. But the idea of "colorblindness", as in pretending you don't notice someone's skin color or the ways in which is might make them stand out, is kind of patronizing. So is emphasizing it.
I just tried not being colorblind for the first time in my life.
I am astounded to learn that @931 is black.
How dare you assume his color.
BTW, me and @931 had some fun convos about this a few years back. (And many since)
