Episode 8: The Color Blind Problem, "Difficult" Names, & Invalidating Identities
from History Shows Us Hosted by Lettie Gore
This week, I talk about the problem with people saying, "I don't see color" and how this and other colorblind-related phrases invalidate racist experiences and more. I also discuss why names aren't "hard", why and how incorrectly or correctly pronouncing someone's name has deeper roots, and how both colorblindness and names are important when recognizing identity.
