When it comes to culture and history though, I guess colorblindness sort of ignores the varieties of cultures out there in favor of a singular more homogenous one... But I don't think that is necessarily racist. Just because you are not aware of every cultural practice doesn't mean you aren't accepting of them.

I agree with the interaction part. I also think that in many cases, when people say that they are colorblind, they mean that they treat people free of prejudice, not that they ignore racism.
