I am writing this, not as a man of mixed race, but as a husband of a mixed-race wife, and consequently, the father of mixed-race children. I have always considered myself, until recently, colour-blind on the issue of race. I say until recently because after researching the term in its context (google racially colour-blind), I find it apparently makes me unaware of the issues, wanting to avoid any discussion on racial issues, and potentially a racist! Why are such outlets as the Oprah Magazine (and many others) claiming this? Are they just generalising in the same way racists can categorise those that they judge as “beneath” them? I don’t mean to come off as too harsh or angry as I know this was not directed at me personally, but wouldn’t the world be better if we were all colour-blind? Then there would be no more issues to be ignorant of, right? https://www.oprahmag.com/life/relationships-love/a32824297/color-blind-myth-racism/

This is so true Hannah’s share – as I grew up in the UK in Hatfield, Hertfordshire is a very white and English area, I had a cultural impact when I landed in college seeing the groups around different ethnicities so where do I Belong a mixed-race girl. The anxiety and I felt like I was always walking on eggshells so that I don’t get noticed as being different. As a teenager – I had my own issues of being accepted, and then my sense of belongings was difficult.
