I listen to classical music pretty much all day and the station I listen to points out a composer or performer who is African-American. This is a good thing because it helps defeat most people's presumption that classical music is all European-American. A friend of mine, a woman of color (I'm European-American), is delighted when Katherine Johnson was described in the media as an African-American women who helped with the Apollo mission to the moon. Color-blindness is also seriously detrimental in health care research.

When I see people bring this topic up, I recommend Ellison's Invisible Man.

How, exactly, is color-blindness "seriously detrimental in health care research" ?
