Until the existing inequalities in society and culture are addressed, for a white person to say "I don't care about race" is the equivalent of saying "I don't care about racism." You cannot fight racism without acknowledging that in many nations around the world, a person's skin color has a significant affect on how they are treated by others, every day of their entire life. Not "giving a hoot" about that is not laudable, it is merely blind.
