(and not intended to offend) Throughout my life I’ve occasionally heard people, when explaining that they’re not racially biased say, "I’m colorblind".
I don’t think it’s necessary to ‘not see’ color, because there’s [b]nothing wrong[/b] with people being different colors, and obviously it’s a part of nature. Many animals come in various colors, why [b]shouldn’t[/b] human beings ?
There’s nothing wrong with noticing it (because we all do, honestly)—and being fine with it.
And not judging people negatively or fearing them because of it.

I think in today's days, anything we say can be considered controversial or inappropriate, no matter who you're talking to. One of our security guards got fired last Month for telling a Nurse that her new hairstyle looked nice, she went to HR right away instead of accepting the compliment as it was intended... 😵💫
@spjennifer People seem to deal in [b]extremes[/b] nowadays. It’s a shame that he lost his job over something so small. Especially when actual harassment, where people are harmed, is still going on. There was a poster, who is white, and described her ex-husband as white, who someone jumped on as "racist” for so describing him. The person making the accusation turned out to not be "wrapped too tight" but it’s another example of how ridiculous people can be now. 🙄
@bijouxbroussard I've known that Security Guard for 5+ years and he is just a kindly older gent of 70+ who was just making conversation to pass the time. It's sad how we've devolved to where everything has some ulterior motive and even a simple compliment is considered "harassment". Yes, I guess even just saying you're "white" or Caucasian" now can be considered racist. I'm glad I don't have too many years left in the workplace because I don't want to deal with this nonsense. I mean if it's really harassment or racism, then yeah have at them but come on...
