Is it possible to live a colorblind life? That is, a life in which you are void of any and all racist ideas? Please explain your answer.
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. It is not possible to live a colorblind life or in a colorblind society as we will always acknowledge the idea of "differences" between races. While one may not consider themselves an active racist, there will always be ways in which we acknowledge and/or contribute to racism (even if it is done so unintentionally). For example, we have been socialized to identify different stereotypes based on race. Even if we don't act upon these stereotypes, the fact that we have been socialized to understand them means that we will always acknowledge their existence. Further, if we state that racism isn't real (or if we state that we don't personally contribute to racism) we are failing targeted populations by downplaying their lived experiences.
