We – the military & police peacekeepers – are color blind. We are not able to recognize skin colors; only camaraderie. If you save my “skin” I trust you, regardless the pigmentation of your “skin”, and I will save yours. What I am looking for is the competency, not the melanin.
Skin colors are just environmental camouflage. Many times I have painted my face in green.
During my Peacekeeping missions, we never made any decision based on religion, gender or skin color – the was only one differentiating color “Blue helmets”, my “comrades”.
