I started this post in response to the Penn State Homecoming thread... But hoped maybe it was an important enough issue to warrant it's own thread.
I am tired of being left in the stone ages as every other class of people get their fair shake. No more. If the TQ&A of America wield this kind of power with a less than .5% of the population, then we COLORBLIND should ban together.
An estimated 7% of men and .4% of women are
affected with some form of colorblindness in the US. We are denied jobs. We are forced to feel less whole than those of you born normal colorvision (whatever that may mean.) We are discriminated against by everyone that doesn't understand us.
We do not see the world in grayscale (except the poor 1-33,000 with monochromacy.) We can fly planes. We can fight fires. We can wire electrical connections. We can work in law enforcement. Yet we are denied these jobs daily...
Outside of the dumbass Ishihara color test, the only instance I have ever experienced with my colorvision was a lost argument over the color of a dark green or blue vehicle's color in low light conditions. But nope, don't let this guy fly the plane... Sure we cannot question if you are a he, she, or nonbinary entity. We cannot give IQ tests for employment in many cases. I saw a guy with no legs fly an F-18... I met a firefighter with Downs Syndrome. That damn Ishihara test...
So let's band together. Even if you're not colorblind, but are colordumb and don't really understand the difference between teal and turquoise, come join us in the fight...
Our first agenda item is to get Ole Miss to quit calling their alternate uniforms "powder blue", cause it sure looks ***** pink to me.
