    Color blind policies.

    I don’t think you understand. A color blind policy will, by definition, be unable to address issues which are not color blind.

      Color blind hiring policies. We were talking about hiring.

      If there are issues not related to the hiring process that make disadvantaged people less qualified, you fix those issues at the source. Ignoring them at hiring just hides the issues making it less likely to be fixed while creating new issues I pointed out.

      Besides, what issue is actually not colorblind? Race is basically always a proxy for a different cause. You should not be lazy and identify the real cause, then solve it based on that to ensure people don’t fall through the cracks.

        France has always been officially colour blind, and they’re the most racist and racially i equal country in Western Europe.

        Colourblind policies don’t help as people in authority’s implicit biases get freer reign.
