Their “color blindness” and concern trolling falls away behind closed doors. It’s empty platitudes and surface level enlightened centrist garbage and nothing more.

Color blindness itself is basically a way to decouple yourself from the political economy you are a subject of, which is in no way "color blind" and has more or less created these system of classification. I don't even subscribe to DiAngelo's individualist notions of "white fragility," I think they can even serve to reify the notion of race, but people saying they're color blind is such a dismissal to address the world around you.
