This is so pathetic. As others have said, the only people who feel that way are race- baiters who are afraid that the colorblind view will ensure that fewer and fewer people listen to their grievance- mongering.
"White people, who are unlikely to experience disadvantages due to race,"
Try telling that to my father and older brother, who were both denied admittance to the colleges of their choice in spite of their excellent academic performances, for committing the hideous crime of being heterosexual Caucasian males. For that matter, tell that to any of the countless other victims of "affirmative action" whose hard work and perseverance amounted to absolutely nothing simply due to the color of their own skin.
"Colorblindness creates a society that denies their negative racial experiences, rejects their cultural heritage, and invalidates their unique perspectives."
That's a crock.
Nobody's denying that blacks and other minorities have suffered in the past due to their race and that what was done to them was unjust, we just think it's stupid, pointless and unhealthy for them to keep whining and obsessing about things that happened decades if not centuries ago, and for them to demand that all whites wallow in perpetual guilt over it.
As for their cultural heritage, we're fine with them having their heritage. We have our heritage, whatever it may be, they have their heritage, whatever it may be. Again, we just think it's stupid and unhealthy to obsess over it and place more value over skin color than over inner personal character. Also, that's a cultural issue, not a racial issue.
As for unique perspectives, EVERYBODY has unique perspectives. No two people are exactly the same. In fact, the way this idiot phrased that makes it seem like everyone of a certain race has the same perspective, which is itself a form of racism.
