Adam Grant missing the forest for the trees. He claims that the data reveal that color blindness approaches "are either ineffective or counterproductive on key outcomes," but the 'outcomes' listed may be just the nature of human interaction or the products of other multivariate collateral effects (e.g., falsely interpreting a small number of black candidates for key positions as de facto discrimination). He ends with the boilerplate regressive "I wish we could be colorblind, but people aren't, so we can't." Such a tired talking point. EDIT: It sometimes makes me cynical as I wonder if it's true.

Exactly. So he seems to want to counter discrimination with more discrimination, as if that's never led to anywhere dark.
Look to Kendi's recent failures!
I celebrate them.
