I think most minorities in America understand what people mean when White people say "I don't see color" (I've never heard a non-white person say this). But for a lot of us, it does come across that they don't consider our unique experiences tied to our race despite the fact that they will treat us as equals. As the topic of race comes up again and again during our lives it becomes one of those deflections we often hear from someone who is slighted by any implication that they are racist. And it becomes one of those micro-aggressions that pile up and start to infuriate you after a so much time.

If your message is that you treat everyone the same regardless of race then say that. Recognize the beauty in all the different types of human beings on this planet as well as the different struggles we face. Don't pretend to be colorblind and then throw a fit when they decide to be more representative in the latest Marvel movie.
