The Virtue of Color-Blindness and the American Project

For ASU’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Associate Professor Andre Archie from Colorado State University introduced the color-blind approach. The color-blindness approach is grounded in the understanding that an individual’s or group’s race should be irrelevant to what choices are made.

Archie iterates that the color-blind approach to race relations is superior to anti-racism and identity politics. Archie advocates for the color-blind dream to be restored as an American ideal in the same way Martin Luther King Jr. did.
