Being color blind doesn't work
I think the PC argument is similar to godwin you use it to shut down the argument

Yeah, being "color blind" pretty much is ignoring the (actual) differences between races and their histories.

There's a difference between outright ignoring someone's race and not using it as a basis upon which to judge them.

"Positive discrimination is still discrimination.  Equality is all about being equal."

Why do I get the feeling that this person wants all government aid to be cut off to education because of this line alone?
Mockery of ideas you don't comprehend or understand is the surest mark of unintelligence.

Because it's the kinda of stuff I hear from people who think that any government aid to blacks is "positive discrimination"

I don't think it's about stopping government aid, but affirmative action. Which are two totally different arguments.

Not using someone's race to judge them is actually what is called "decent". :) For most people, colorblindness is the idea that ignoring or overlooking racial and ethnic differences promotes racial harmony. Which it obviously doesn't. It obviously benefits white people, who never have to question whether or not their race is being held in question when they apply for a job. It benefits them not to question that because it makes it look like they got here on their own.

The point of the sign is that minorities can be racist too.
