What you erase when you say “I don’t see color”

Spoiler alert: it’s me.

It’s a conversation I’ve had to have many times. Often with people who I think are at least friendlies, if not friends, with disastrous results.

They want me to come live in their unicorn fairyland where it rains Skittles and kittens poop rainbows. Their favorite fairyland is colorblindness.

I wish I could live in that universe sometimes but I can’t. Reality bites me.

“But I don’t see color.”
