There's no such thing as someone not seeing race because we all do. Only the blind can't see race. But some people are able to control one's emotions and outbursts despite the visuals, and that's a good thing.
You know I've never been able to articulate this very well, but once I shared an apartment with a black woman and someone once asked me... "What is it like living with a black women?" and my answer was... "I don't think about it in black and white and focus on our friendship and who she is" and truly did not think about color until it was brought up; but I had known her for such a long time and we had moved past the superficial and were on a different level.
My best friend in the world is Japanese American I really don't think about it until it's brought up. When you meet people for the first time I think we all immediately see the individual differences in each other but as time goes by (at least for me) I see what we have in common.
