Ignoring Race is Racist

A most amazing bit of convoluted thunking from the BVoAF:

re: #317 SanFranciscoZionist

Bush, pace Kanye West, had an excellent personal track record on race

Being blind to racial differences IS racism. Not overt, hateful racism, but racism nonetheless. When people claim to want to live in a “colorblind” society where race doesn’t matter, then everyone would essentially have to be the same. Cultural niches would cease to exist (hip hop culture, cinco de mayo, etc), because the majority does not participate or enjoy these things.

In short, if you want to live in a color-blind society, then some cultural norm has to be established. Inevitably, this norm will be set by the majority culture, thus phasing out the minority cultures. Hence, racism.

Get all that?
