Today is my day for a flurry of posts about #ColourBlind #ColorBlind issues.

It ties in nicely with #FamilyHistory research.

According to mom my grandfather irritated gran when he complimented her red hat.

My male cousins and me each had reduced career choice ... I couldn't do chemistry, Dave couldn't join the police, Richard couldn't be an electrician.

None of us saw the brown ball on the snooker table. Nor the pink. Nor the green.

And the #AncestryDNA colour dots aren't much use at all.

One of these days I'm going to make a list of games that are not #colorblind-friendly, and #SuperCluedo and #UnoFlip will make the #Top10.

(Some may find it odd, but I'm actually fine with classic #Uno.)

@ExtKits please avoid red-green combination, around 8% of males (0.5% of females) are #colorblind and have a hard time with them 😉

Red-blue is generally fine 👍

Now what is it that those bold conservatives argue? #CRT is bad and we are #colorblind?

#GOP are useless to stop #WhiteGenocide since they don't acknowledge that White folks exist. #Democrats are driving the bus to #ColorBlind Utopia... So it is Camp Guards and Capos ... those are the options as allowed in the #USA today. https://www.bitchute.com/video/nf9r8sDX3SF5/

#CRT IS what Black #parents must tell their #children for them to increase the odds that they will survive an encounter with #police. It’s the wisdom. It’s the knowledge. It’s the way that we’ve had to encounter a world that is not #colorblind. #Intersectionality also tells us that we’ve got to give that talk not just to our #sons, but to our #daughters. That’s what #SayHerName is all about - #Crenshaw

So I have gotten hooked on #Foundation . It's an odd show cause it feels like a more serious sci-fi, that's also throwing in action-y bits for presumably broader appeal.

Anyway, there was a scene in mid S1 where the younger Dawn emperor is hunting creatures (sort of 'sci-fi quails') with his older clone, the Dusk emperor. On his first attempt, Dawn is able to kill twice as many as Dusk's current record.

It's later revealed that Dawn is an imperfect clone, and has colourblindness. The implication here is it enabled him to see the 'sci-fi quails' more easily, as camouflage is sometimes more easily discerned by colourblind people.

This is a factoid I've known about since I was a kid, though I've never really tested it.

Anyway, I thought it was an interesting and quite subtle reference.

Color vision deficiency, as experts call the condition of being #colorblind, is hereditary and cannot be prevented. And most people learn to live with it. But the rest of the world could help, by such simple acts as not using subtle colors to distinguish items in a chart, for example. https://medium.com/wise-well/is-colorblindness-a-disability-or-just-a-nuisance-a563e93c4645

How the shooting of Ralph Yarl demonstrates the fiction of a colorblind society in America

@StillIRise1963 🤦‍♀️F-ing insane. While SCOTUS pushes #colorblind the Magats continue to show themselves as just BLIND.

Not sure why ITDP used Twelfth Avenue and Riverside Drive for the cover photo. They're photogenic, and they're both connected to historical and current racist practices, but they're a lot less racially problematic than the nearby West Side Highway!

RT @itdp_hq In the US, it is important to recognize that our existing systems & infrastructure are not #colorblind, especially in the legacy of #highway planning that continues to have deep impacts on #communitiesofcolor

Anyway my point is #accessibility is for everyone. If you’ve used a computer for any length of time I can almost guarantee you’ve used some accessible functionality.

It’s not just for people using #screenreader or keyboards or #colorblind people, it’s for people who have slow internet or sprained their wrist or are trying to watch your video on the train.

Lord Almighty. 😞

#UncleThomas on #AffirmativeAction: calls the #Constitution "#Colorblind".

SERIOUSLY??? The Constitution that declared people like him to be "3/5ths of a man" and refused to outlaw #slavery was "colorblind"? Is he out of his knucking mind? 🤦‍♂️ #ThisWeek

Being #colorblind is bull s#!t

(FYI, this is not directed at people with actual color perception issues. You know what I mean)
#HistoricalOppression #racism #InstitutionalRacism

@jepyang That one is *especially* bad because red-green colorblindness is probably the most common type of #colorblindness among #colorblind people.

Imagine being #colorblind and trying to interpret this
#UX #what?
