Being willfully blind to the importance of race in our society and the effect that it continues to have on people's lives is not some enlightened gesture. It's being willfully ignorant. It's not like these people actually don't see differences in skin color, mass incarceration, housing segregation etc. It's simply a statement that they don't care about these things and will ignore the elephant in the room in favor of treating people with a simplistic version of "equality." Our society is not and has never been race blind, so treating acting as if it is not helpful.

It's also interesting how no one applies the term virtue signaling to these "colorblind" people. They are loudly proclaiming how they don't see color and are just so not racist and better than other people who divide by acknowledging racism. Meanwhile, they don't help at all and actively hamper the people trying to help. That's virtue signaling 101.
