Generally, “color blindness” is considered the best way to address the racial problem. This concept is revealed and discussed in Paul Beatty's novel, "The White Boy Shuffle". The novel portrays the life story of a young African American Gunnar which mainly focuses on his experiences and identities in different places. In the part of Gunnar's childhood life in Santa Monica, when mostly surrounded by white individuals, he is continually indoctrinated with the idea of ​​"colorblindness", which is widely supported by people in this community to alleviate racism. However, with the massive exposure of the ideology of "color blindness" and its application in the Mongrel Mixed Breed elementary school, the novel addresses color blindness as a practical method of dealing with racism, showing the embarrassing contradictions it creates between the methodology of ignorance of the "color" and the detectable view of the color. human nature. Based on Gunnar's encounters in the novel, the heavy use of the concept of “color blindness” will not change people's and society's perspective towards races of color. The superficiality and ineffectiveness of this idea underlines the difference between the races. Implicitly, it is a new mode of racism. The only way to eliminate color problems is to recognize the difference between races and amalgamate them all into one homogeneous group. The novel first shows the idea of ​​"color blindness" by featuring a teacher's t-shirt, the t-shirt has words "black", "white", "red", "yellow", "brown" and "human" on it , which means that skin color is an ignorable fact according to the definition of being human. (28) To make this idea seemingly valid for students, Ms. Cegeny addresses it further by writing "Eracism: the sun doesn't care what color you are... in the center of the card... sacrifice is necessary. These two words indicate the current state of the transformation of our society. The process may be painful, but it will be worth it. The ultimate balance and equilibrium between individuals can be achieved by recognizing the difference without dividing the races like gray and harmonious elephants are based on the development of understanding and vision of Gunnar on color blindness. From believer to critic, from listener to questioner, from the above discussion incorporated, this novel refutes the effectiveness of color blindness and illustrates the new kind of racism it creates. Finally, through Gunnar's reading on white elephants and blacks, supported the idea of ​​combing and uniting instead of dividing. Works Cited Beatty, Paul.
