Notes

[1] As we argue elsewhere, “colorblindness is conceived of as an ideology that denies that white privilege or contemporary institutionalized racial discrimination exist thus facilitating the belief that the U.S. is post-racial (Risman & Benejee, 2013). As such, we do not view the terms—colorblindness and post-racial—as interchangeable. However, we do see that colorblind ideology supports the claim of post-racialism as conceived as an era in which race does not matter in any methodical or socially significant manner (Bonilla-Silva, 2010; Holling, Moon, & Jackson Nevis, 2014, p. 22, fn 1).
