What does it mean to be “colorblind?"

To be colorblind means to think, speak, and take action without prejudice regardless of who we are. It means to be just and fair. Does it mean equal representation? In the simulation that we did last week about the student who was called names at her school, the students brought up equal representation. If we were truly colorblind, we wouldn’t need this system. However, does it mean ignoring culture? Isn’t a garden beautiful with the variety of different vegetables and fruits, and thus the farmer rich with nutrients?
