Rap Record Hoarder posted:I think it's been shown a bunch of times that most Millennials or kids in the generation after (post-2000) have a very colorblind mindset when it comes to race, which is a set backwards and makes it more difficult to confront or deal with issues of race. To be fair, it's more like they are halfway there but haven't really thought it the whole way through yet. It seems to me, purely anecdotally, that the prevailing opinions on race in the younger generation is that hey, we should just ignore it because it doesn't matter what color you are, we're all equals here, right? Which is a laudable end goal, but the problem is that they have been cultured to ignore the vast structural disadvantages faced by minorities that still exist, and that to achieve that desired end state of "who cares we're really all the same anyway" we need to be very much aware of racial differences, and the different hurdles and pressures that need to be overcome before we get there. So I wouldn't really call it a step backwards, so much as a step, like, sideways. Edit: to the guy above's point; white millenials. I don't think we really need to explain to young minorities the challenges they face based on their race.
