Livre d'Or

One of the roots of the problems in the conversation with the peanut gallery is that too many otherwise reasonable people have been taught/brainwashed that in order to not discriminate, one must genuinely or affect to not even notice obvious differences, and the only possible means of non-discrimination on any count is to become x-blind. (Colorblind, gender-blind, etc.)

One of the missing links in the conversation is "You know, you can still acknowledge people's differences and not discriminate: you just don't treat them worse or prohibit them from doing things simply because you have noticed that they're not a white man."
