Colorblindness: How the System Produces Our Ignorance

This article examines the concept of colorblindness as a sophisticated tool of systemic domination. The author exposes the "mask of neutrality" of academic institutions, arguing that supposed objectivity often serves to conceal racial hierarchies and protect the status quo. The article draws on contemporary legal disputes, including the 2023 US Supreme Court ruling, demonstrating how the language of meritocracy and legal formalism hinders the recognition of structural racism. This critical perspective on knowledge production reveals that the "view from nowhere" is in fact the perspective of a power center that actively filters social reality to preserve privilege.
