We started with this idea, then Martin Luther King moved us into a colorblindness "content of their character" judgement era, what I like to think as the golden years

Now, colorblindness IS back to being considered racist. We are required to have a presupposition of every person based on a their race in the form of collection of stereotypes regarding their "LiVeD ExPeRiEnCes" which are defined by Universities and then fed to the media

So when I first see someone, if I notice they are [x] race, I should have a pre-packed set of assumptions about their life. Even if they tell me something that contradicts these assumptions, we are not to drop the assumptions. For example, if I see a black person, I should assume they've had a harder life than me. If, in the process of getting to know them, I discover that they were born rich and have always been rich, this should NOT change my assumption about their life being difficult. I will then just switch to another stereotype about society's views about black people and use that as my justification on how difficult their life is
