Do you consider yourself to be 'colorblind' [in the racial sense] - why or why not? Or alternately, what're your views on 'colorblindness'?

1 Answer

Answer :

I don’t believe in being ‘color blind’. I believe in seeing others differences and accepting them. It’s the difference between the two common themes: Salad Bowl and Mixing Pot. In the Mixing Pot we are mixed in and are all the same and therefore equal. In the Salad Bowl we are all different (some of us cucumbers, some of us tomatos, etc..) but we are mixed together into something enjoyable. We accept each others differences but they still exist.
