I’m not good at this, but let’s see if I can write what’s in my head.
To the “I don’t see___” crowd. Why? How does it help you? I get the argument, if you prick me do I not bleed. Inherently we are all the same. People are people so why should it be that you I get along so awfully.

As I’ve stated before I spent years in the cab business. Over those years I worked with people from around the globe. People from Somalia and Ethiopia are not the same. People from Pakistan and Afghanistan are not the same. People from Finland and Sweden are not the same. People from California and

New York are not the same. No one expects you to know every difference or similarity, but acknowledge they exist. When you don’t, you deprive people of culture and heritage. Someone from India might be Sikh, Hindu, Muslim, or even Christian. By not seeing whatever it is you don’t want to see, you

You might have the best of intentions to treat everyone equally, which is valiant and all people should be treated with dignity and respect.

unwanted. It would be beneficial to learn about other cultures and traditions instead of erasing them just so everyone can be the same to you. If you choose to keep yourself ignorant and always looking at everyone as a shade of grey you miss out on a lot of the beauty the world has to offer.

I’m glad you put this into words here. I’ve always tried to understand why anyone would say that. But I never could articulate why it bothered me. Thank you!!!

Can I add that the same applies to those of us with disabilities too? I’ve had people tell me “I don’t see your wheelchair, I only see you.” They mean well, but that sentence always frustrates me. It means they are making the struggles and prejudices I’ve encountered into something less. 1/2

It makes me feel like I have one less able bodied person willing to help me make the world more accepting. I want people to see my wheelchair because having to live from it has made me who I am. 2/2
