What made me personally interested in this topic?

While reading the article "Racial Formation" by Michael Omi and Howard Winant the authors talked about race and how people define it and talked about racial formation. The authors main idea is that race "is a matter of both social structure and cultural representation". When the authors talked how we must act in a "color blind" fashion, I found this statement to be very interesting. The first thought that came to mind was if that was even possible in the society that we live in. I found this to be an important issue because many times people judge others by the color of their skin and from what they know about that particular race, before getting to know the person. I feel like people don't take the time to learn more about the person, they assume that everyone in that race acts the same way.
