The point at which a person notices a difference in skin color can vary, however. I remember watching the news with my grandmother as a young teen, and she commented (positively) that it was new/different/nice/noticeable to see a black newscaster.

If hotels are looking to increase security, they’ll have to clear Las Vegas of all white people because statistically, they are the most dangerous demographic.

“What about black on black crime?”

“I don’t see color” makes me see red, because it’s the most insidious of the group. Like, if you’ve never thought about culture, it sounds good a first blush, but it’s super, super harmful and an utter lie.
