Changes in My Beliefs

One belief that I had in the beginning of this class, that has changed over the past two weeks is the belief that we should all be color-blind. When we walked into the first day of class, that statement was written up on the whiteboard. And I immediately agreed, without thinking deeply about what this actually means. But as we started to talk about it in class, I realized that being color-blind is just ignoring that fact that we are different. We should embrace each others' races and see it as something good. By being color-blind, you are avoiding the topic of racism, and therefore extending the causes and effects of racism. We should face the problem head on, in order to come up with a proper solution.
