Kulturkampf

[Eric Cartman]

It's interesting how there's a downright fear of hearing the other side. Like maybe he's wrong about the colorblindness but then why not just disprove that? 

We're not talking about an inherently offensive idea here, just someone arguing that the current approach might not be the best one.

Basically the reaction makes me wonder if people really are offended by the idea or more offended by the suggestion that they could be wrong

The explicitly stated problem with colour blindness (or any other 'treat difference like it doesn't exist' behaviour, like sexuality or disability) is that it doesn't give extra credit for what a special little soldier you are to have overcome everything that being black / gay / disabled implies and just treats you like a fellow human who has had shit to deal with in their life like every other human has. It inherently leads to 'oppression olympics'.
