Education / Pedagogy | | English term or phrase: color-blind | This is in order to describe a person (as a matter of fact a child) who is not prejudiced, and does not pay attention to the ethnic characteristics he sees in a person. I found the term "color-blind" used in a book about hatred (Hate Hurts - The Anti-defamation League's - How Children Lean and Unlearn Prejudice), and I want to use the expression in French (my native language) and can't find the equivalent that will be as powerful as "color-blind".
This is not for a paid translation. This is for a personal text written in French on my own website (http://blog.tiboo.com/otir) |

Asker: Witty! :-) Mais daltonien évoque vraiment l'incapacité à discriminer le rouge du vert en français, je crois, et non pas l'indifférence à des caractéristiques ethniques plus marquées en termes de pigmentation. Je ne sais pas si en contexte on comprendrait de quoi il s'agit alors. Merci tout de même ! I appreciated and might use the term as a humorous title, if you allow it.

Asker: So far, that is the one I prefer. The idea of indifference is neutral enough, and describes better what I noticed in that child and wanted to express.

4 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 non raciste
Explanation:
No other way to go around it. That means what it means, i.e. the person is not racist.
To describe that person, you can also say either:
1) Il/Elle n'est pas raciste.
2) Il/Elle n'a aucun préjugé racial.
OR
3) Il/Elle est tolérant(e) envers les races.
4) Il/Elle a une grande tolérance ethnique ou raciale.
5) Il/Elle est une personne LIBRE de TOUT préjugé racial.
Hope these help!

Asker: I agree with you, however I find that it gives our opinion on the fact that the child is acting in a color-blind fashion, or not, rather than describing the fact that he is or is not giving importance to discrimination. Thanks for the comment on the blog by the way! Il ne me reste plus qu'à rédiger mon billet sur celui qui est "indifferent à la couleur de peau" !
