[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] This reminds me of an article I read recently, discussing the hidden dangers of applied "colorblindness"; racial privileges are still unequal, but now the affected party can't complain about it. Wikipedia has a good writeup of the issue, but Flare can't link to it because of parentheses in the URL. The most recent time I heard of it was when Stephen Colbert started using it as material already in his first season ("Sir, I don't see race, for all I know we're both black"), lampooning fake-egalitarian politicians. I think that this recurring joke of his has more depth to it than just the fake-PC dig, it also hints at the hidden strategic value of institutionalized colorblindness. [/QB][/QUOTE]
