Catching up w/ Becky Lynn!

Happy Valentine’s Day! In this episode, instead of talking about being blindly in love, we discuss being blind regarding race! Colorblindness is an ideology that ignores racial differences to falsely promote harmony but can lead to racial discriminations being ignored. Therefore asserting color-blind logic is a form of performing whiteness, the normalization of white racial identity (you don’t need to be white to perform whiteness). We talk transracial adoption, colorblindness, interracial dating and coparenting and so much more!

Some scholars that expand upon the concepts discussed in this episode are Kimberlé Crenshaw, Meghan Burke and Lynn M. Paltrow.
