Because of that I don't care when I read in the newspaper that I am colourblind. I went through a red light in my car and I stopped when I before a green light. So I must be really colourblind, eh?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We would like to get to a point in our society where people really are colorblind and this message would not have to be told anymore. Unfortunately, we're not there yet.
I can't say that there's been some big change during my career where all of a sudden everything's totally colorblind.
I'm one of those people who is colour blind to a certain degree. And that doesn't mean I'm not acutely aware of race in our country and abroad and in the world. I know what's going on, and I'm very aware of it.
I am definitely a person of color.
Because I'm a synesthete I see characters in colors and I perceive a W as green.
Anytime I look at a president, I don't care what color he is.
It really annoys me when the light turns green, and you're behind somebody, and they're just sitting there looking at the light for about 15, 20 seconds.
For years I'd thought my color was black: deep, dark, thoughtful, mysterious. Black, you can hide behind. But now I know it is red.
I never had an occasion to question color, therefore, I only saw myself as what I was... a human being.
I don't like the term 'colour-blind' - because I don't want people to be blind to my colour.
