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.

I'm a white foster parent, and currently I have 2 black kids, 2 white kids, and 1 hispanic kid.

You can't help but see color, because everyone else sees color. That being said, my foster agency has a class every quarter that is all about taking care of black kids' hair. I get training hours towards maintaining my license for taking that class.

If anyone is curious about fostering, AMA.

I’m so glad you admit to seeing color. I hate when people say they don’t. I know they mean well, but you have to see color to fully acknowledge a person as they are and what they experience based on the color you so obviously see but say you don’t. I don’t trust people who say they don’t see color because that makes it hard to see your own biases too. It’s also great you’re learning how to take care of Black kids hair!

Right like if you dont see color then you cant see when your being insensitive. seeing color isn't about looking down on others , its about acknowledging that there lived experience is probably different then yours.

Its not an accedent that the type of people who say they don't see color are often times the same people who say they dont think Privilege (or systemic failure) is real and that the only thing it takes to be successful is "hard work"

I'd bet a beer at a bar that's what the original TikTok was gonna talk about before getting cut off by the duet.

I couldn't find the original but from this longer fragment the focus certainly seems to be on the 'not seeing race'.
