      I'm guilty of raising a 'colour-blind' child. I remember being very pleased about this when she was about 6. Someone knocked on the door. 1

      She looked out of the window & said it was our (white) neighbour. It wasn't. Was a black man of same build & baldness selling windows. 2

      I asked her if she didn't notice they had different skin colours & she genuinely didn't. Realised how 'learnt' racism is then. 3

      But this would now be seen by some as a terrible failure on my part not to bring her up with an awareness of race. This makes me sad. 4

      I will say this: it is a little odd that she could not tell the obvious difference between the two individuals

      As in, morally and ethically colorblind, but pathologically ?

      Not sure what you mean. Talking abt skin colour being as significant & noticeable as hair colour.

      That's the thing: I think it's a somewhat more noticeable visual cue.

      I thought so too but kids changed my mind abt this. Also texts from the Mediterranean before 17th century.

      Very little mention of skin colour in descriptions of people despite having all shades. Bible a very good example.

          Having all shades, really ? When long distance travel was such a different concept ?

          Wasn't really long distance. Trade was booming between continents.

          Black ppl in Europe. White ppl in Africa. Brown ppl everywhere. Jews of all shades assisting Xtian & Muslims with finance.

          I have to confess I remain somewhat doubtful as to this multi hued (if I may say so) culture. But I can't support these doubts

          in earnest on only my gut. So I may get back to you later when I find the time to document myself.
