colorblindness
Cannot distinguish reds
Colorblindness is the inability to distinguish certain colors, most commonly red and green.
The condition is usually inherited and far more prevalent in men.
Figuratively, colorblindness means disregarding racial or ethnic distinctions: The company claims colorblindness in its hiring practices.
Critics argue such colorblindness can ignore real inequities rather than transcending them.
