The colour blindness of children is what you're thinking of. They're the only ones untainted by the racism they will inevitably be exposed to later in life.
You'd have to be incredibly innocent, ignorant, or obtuse, if you got to adulthood without being aware that a person's visible race will affect how others (like racists) will treat them.
It's easy to be aware of a fact in a moment and lose sight of it in practice it a complex scenario. As I said, I'm neuro divergent, and my closest friends who know me well would liken the naive or innocent way I view things to be similar to childlike naivete. Maybe their not the only ones as untainted as you think. I've grown up experiencing very little racism while being brown skinned, so I just don't think about it in my day to day view.
If there's two different forms of racial colorblindness, and it's ok for kids to be one and adults can't be the other one, I don't know it just sounds like dumb nonsense labels purposefully designed to start arguments. Almost sounds like troll language.
