“I don’t see color…”
Congratulations! You’re lying to yourself. Of course, you see color. And that’s good! Black/Indigenous  people want you to see their color. Their colors are beautiful and the very foundation of who they are. If you don’t see their color, then you also don’t see their culture. If you don’t see color, then you erase their very identity. If you don’t see their color, then you also can’t see the pattern of violence they’re confronted with every day. If you don’t see color, then you’re blind to more than just racial injustice. You’re blind to the world.

Intention vs. Effect
"I DIDN'T KNOW. I DIDN'T MEAN TO BE PREJUDICED/RACIST, THEREFORE IT ISN'T RACISM." 
In discussions about the definition of racism, some individuals may argue that a particular statement or action does not constitute racism because racism was not intended. As noted elsewhere, in Human Rights law and anti-racism education, intentionality is irrelevant. It is the effect of the action on the target person/group that is to be considered and takes precedence.

“Racism is not about the intent. It is about the result of a behavior no matter how innocent the intention” (Maracle, 2017).
In addition, individuals might argue that they have never been taught the correct or appropriate information and, therefore, they cannot be racist. While their statement may be factually correct, ignorance does not justify racism or mitigate the effects of their actions; it can be another form of defensiveness. If you learn that you hurt someone else, despite your good intentions, try to set aside your own thoughts and feelings to center the impact that your actions had. While it can be difficult, it’s a key part of maintaining healthy relationships.
Real talk: No one likes being called out. It’s difficult to grapple with the idea that you may have gotten it wrong – that, despite your best intentions, you might have done real harm.
