No it's not colorblindness and it's not a cop out. I SEE YOU.That's just colorblindness, which is also a cop-out.
I'm sure it is important to you, and I respect that.I identify as each and every one of the quoted identities in that post, and yes, understanding and recognizing those multiple identities and what they mean is important to me.
We all have things that are important to us. We all have things about us, not just race or culture, but religion, parents, beliefs, traditions--all sorts of things that define us.
It doesn't mean that those things have to be important to everyone else. What ultimately matters is that we treat each other as human beings.
I mean seriously, if I am your friend, and I describe you to my mom as Native American, are you really going to be put out that I didn't include all the other things?
