Hooray for you, Mr. Colorblind, that you don't care about her looks, race, or gender. Unfortunately, women and black people (in the US at least) don't get to breezily dismiss it. The fact that you are apparently unaware of this leads me to think that you are exactly the kind of person who could do with a privilege audit.
- vezzy-fnord 13y agoCaring about people's racial characteristics is racist. Not caring about people's racial characteristics is "colorblindness" and also racist. That really is a catch-22 scenario.
- tasty_freeze 13y agoYou have funny definitions. As far as a hiring manager goes, sure, he should care about the persons ability. But this wasn't an interview -- he was commenting on an article about someone living in the real world. In the US, there are still significant racial and gender issues. Ignoring them because you are "color blind" is not a commendable trait. It isn't racist; it is ignoring racism.
