My legs are half-white, half Indian.
One day, the white leg got a gun and decided to steal the Indian leg’s land and demanded the deed to the land.
Fortunately, the deed was under the Indian leg’s work boot, so it could never be found.
my legs are so white they drink wine.

Have you guys known white people who claim to be color blind?
I worked with this school psychologist once who claimed that she didn’t notice ethnicity or race. Just didn’t see it.
She just sees children. So she could work with a kid for 2 hours and not be able to tell you if he was Black, Asian, White, Hispanic,…whatever.
I figured this would be a lot like eating lunch with Stephen Hawking and not noticing that he’s in a wheelchair…
'cause you don’t see disability, you just see people. [/quote]
That’s a perfect example of trying too hard.
Sure you don’t need to point people out according to their race all the time…but where you actually say you don’t know what color a child’s skin is after seeing them 50 times is silly…acting like you’re being ‘nice’ by acting like you don’t know what ethnicity the kid may be.
I’d ask her after that: “Do you point out or notice when someone is fat or has a big nose or is bald?” Hopefully they say no, and rightfully so…then I’d add “Well there’s nothing wrong with that boy being black either y’know.”
Just to show her how silly she’s being.
My legs are so white, they hate each other for being left and right on the political scale.
They won’t even walk side-by-side, preferring to alternate steps ; which is fine by me or I’d get nowhere.

That’s what I thought. As in, “I’m sooo not a racist, that I don’t even see color.” She was this very cool old hippie chick from Venice. You had to love her.
Being colorblind does make you a terrible witness. It’s even worse if you don’t see gender either. “There was this person who grabbed my purse. That’s about all I can say about that.”

A carbon-based humanoid-shaped lifeform took my purse.

Dunno, that sounds vaguely speciesist.

It was a highly organized gang of atoms that done it.

Perhaps she has special glasses that show what they are really like.
There is nothing whiter than this.

Nope…because I wasn’t joking when I said my legs were white…the guy in the picture has darker legs that I do. Mine look like freezer chicken.
And I will never ever wear flip flops. So I guess my feet are white, but not white.
