Let's assume he (and you, and I) don't see color. Fine. What about other people? Even if we assume everyone in California is "color blind," what about the rest of the country, and the world? Can he (or you, or I) speak for everyone, everywhere, and say, "race isn't an issue; let's focus on something else." No. Absolutely not. We speak for no one but ourselves. People have prejudiced thoughts, and act on them; people have bigoted thoughts, and act on them: So, yes, people have racist thoughts, and act on them.

Not facing a problem allows it to remain. We all, each and every one of us, has to face the prejudiced, bigoted, and, yes, racist in ourselves. Or it remains.
