When We Say We Don’t See Color

“When we say we don’t see color, what we are truly saying is, ‘I don’t want to see the things about you that are different because society has told me they are dangerous or undesirable.’ Ignoring difference does not change society; nor does it change the experiences non-normative bodies must navigate to survive. Rendering difference invisible validates the notion that there are parts of us that should be ignored, hidden, or minimized, leaving in place the unspoken idea that difference is the problem and not our approach to dealing with difference.” (Sonya Renee Taylor, The Body is Not an Apology; hand lettered by Emily PG Erickson)

Sonya Renee Taylor reminds us not to refuse to see difference. All it says is that we see difference as a problem.
