To anyone who thinks that ignoring race is does not have racist implications, you are also wrong.
Color blind racism:
Color blindness (sometimes spelled colour-blindness; also called race blindness) is a sociological term referring to the disregard of racial characteristics when selecting which individuals will participate in some activity or receive some service. In practice, color-blind operations use no racial data or profiling and make no classifications, categorizations, or distinctions based upon race.
Critics of color-blindness argue that color-blindness operates under the assumption that we are living in a world that is "post-race", where race no longer matters"
Critical theory states that this is ignorant of the social condition that race provides in any and every society. Not to mention it is near impossible to put in practice completely.
