....they are so color blind they apparently don't support remedial measures like affirmative action:

Millennials, racism, and MTV poll: Young people are confused about bias, prejudice, and racism.

...seems a color blind society is not really what the race-hustlers want after all. In fact, it might be racist!

Thanks for the link, it was a great article and hopefully one day we won't need affirmative action because race won't be such a dividing issue in this country.

Indeed. Color blind is racist.

NO need for affirmative action except for veterans.

Why is the dichotomy always white vs. non-white? Why not black vs. non-black or hispanic vs. non-hispanic?

well, the claim that racial preferences help the "disadvantaged." In reality, preferences primarily benefit minority applicants from middle- and upper-class backgrounds. If preferences were truly meant to remedy disadvantage, they would be given on the basis of disadvantage, not on the basis of race.

I don't think "millennials" are colorblind at all. I see some of the worst racial slurs coming from them.

Colorblind is looking at a person and seeing a person, not a color. That's rare these days.

According to the polls, the majority claim not to care about race.

It sure is.

In the past I did not think of race near as much.

As a teen and young adult I remember wanting to be black......I thought it was cool.
