What is a major problem of colorblindness? a. It erroneously assumes that racial fairness prevails in society.
b. It makes it difficult to discuss the current racial inequality that exists by branding those who speak of race the problem.
c. It equates “color” with race.
d. Both A and B
The correct answer is d. Both A and B.
Explanation:
Colorblindness often hinders discussions about racial issues by falsely assuming that everyone is treated equally (A) and by dismissing the experiences related to racial inequality (B). This perspective can minimize the importance of addressing systemic racism and make it difficult to have open, necessary conversations about race and inequality in society. Thus, both A and B highlight significant problems associated with a colorblind approach.
