>"There is no such thing as "color". Classifications such as "red", or "yellow", or "green" are antiquated, disproven, colorist products of a hateful and uneducated past. Just look at the image, where would you even draw the line between these supposed "colors"?Your move, colorists
>>18657545I’m colour blind.
>>18657559The privilege to be colorblind is still a privelege. In a truly equal society we cannot be colorblind, but have to treat the colors equitably.
>>18657545The delineation of the spectrum into specific colors may be a social construct, but it is a useful social construct. And from a pragmatist lens, that matters more than intrinsic truth-value.
>>18657716That's racist
>>18657716>The delineation of the spectrum into specific colors may be a social constructYou’re an unironic retard, while OP was only pretending
>>18657740Language, money, and civilization itself are social constructs. That doesn't make them illegitimate or less meaningful. Even most hard scientists now are post positivists, seeing the lens of human interpretation as an unavoidable fact of life.
>>18657836Except for...
Weird analogy. But why don't we just set strict definitions for colors because their wavelengths are objective so it is actually really simple to define colors objectively if you wanted to because color is based on wavelength lol.
>>18659425>why don't we just set strict definitionsBecause there would be no consensus on what those strict definitions would be.
>>18660576Just vote on it and then everyone who disagrees is now objectively wrong and you can just frame it like they are semi-colorblind lol.
>>18660587It would hardly make a difference. For example it's officially taught to kids that there are 7 continents, but other definitions saying there are as few as 4 are not really treated as "objectively wrong".
>>18657740It is a social construct tho, different historical societies had different ways of classifying color. Most notably, there have been more cultures on earth that think blue and green are shades of the same color than not
All reality is like that if examined closely. Your trying to grab smoke
>>18657545Correct. The fact that a white an black can produce a brown abomination doesn't mean whites and blacks don't exist.
