Training Briefs® I’m Color Blind

Many people see being “color blind” as a solution to racial bias. But it can keep us from seeing what’s happening right in front of us. Our society as well as the workplace is not color blind. It never has been.

Points of identity, like gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnic background or age... all matter to people. To say that you don’t see them is denying the existence of something that has a significant impact on our relationships. So, you can’t address inequity if you don’t recognize when biases cause people to be treated unfairly.
