No that's ridiculous. Not seeing something is in No Way actively doing anything. It is by definition passive.
No it's not, it's actively dismissing someone's race. The passive thing is to say nothing about it.
So I'm neuro divergent and I don't see people in terms of race. I guess I'm racist now. Who knew. You freaking people are why the right thinks we're insane. Blind people are racist too?
Here is me actively dismissing. I see your skin color and I make a conscious decision to omit that fact.
You are saying if someone doesn't actually notice the color of people when we see them we are racist. That's exactly like saying people who are deaf are rude for ignoring you when you speak. Ridiculous.
We're not expecting you to see people in terms of race. That would be profiling. You're being far too literal and not making a point in good faith by trying to equate visual impairment in this context.
Please look up the difference between equality and equity, and why equality isn't sufficient and can in fact still be exclusionary in today's reality. That's the point we're trying to make here.
Forgive me for thinking words mean what they say. This is part of the problem the left has in general. You guys are too lazy to have long discussions so you keep making up labels and words that no one knows what they mean then you go around calling people who aren't even fighting you racist. The entire tone of this thread has been beyond stupid. Don't get me started on how many letters have been added to LGBTQBBQWTF when the Q was supposed to be the end of it as a catch-all. It's like you guys WANT to be misunderstood.
