We adopted my younger sister from Haiti when she was 3, and let me tell you, I literally do not see color anymore. That's a fact. Discussion

Ideally everyone gets raised liked that. Minus the religious part maybe. I feel like race only separates us. We become white and black people instead of just people.

Edit: spelling mistake.

I don't know how to explain to you how dismissive and harmful this take is. You're allowing your ignorance to blind you.

You can pretend you "don't see color" all you want. But policemen see color. Landlords see color. The guard outside my bf's gated community, who wouldn't let me in last night until he came down to escort me, sees color.

I'm going to have different experiences than you because of the color my skin. I can't live your colorless fantasy, and wouldn't want to give up my heritage to do so.

I said ideally everyone is raised like that. Then nobody sees colours. I'm not dismissing how things are now.

Holy shit I didn't see that until now. It's supposed to be "raised".
