Color vision, mostly known wasn’t color blindness is a condition that affects every area of the life of those who got it. There is this hopelessness that comes with being color blind. Color blindness can serve as a form of disqualification from some jobs. Color blind persons fail to do many things that individuals without color blindness can easily do.
How do we determine if a person has a disability if they lack color in their vision? Why do we automatically and determine a person has a disability without understanding why this takes place? Is color-blind an abnormality? Being color-blind will be normal to the person as my being deaf is normal to me. It is a part of living with ourselves and being human. We adjust, find resources and create our ways to navigate through life.
How can it not be a disability? People who suffer from color blindness do not have the ability to see colors that are required for certain employment situations. I have color blindness and I totally consider myself as a disabled person. People like myself are often denied job opportunities. I didn’t know all throughout my youth that I was colorblind, I have red/green and blue/yellow difficiency. I believed that I was to stupid to remember my colors. I became very confused in certain situations that effected my understanding of reality. I disassociated with children of my own age simply because I did not see what they saw. When someone comments “Wow look at the pretty flowers” and you think ‘so, look at the pretty dirt’ it gives you a different path in life, frustrating and isolated. To those who do not think it’s a disability but a ‘handicap’ try it, feel what it’s like to be denied because of something about yourself that you have no control over, nor can change. We get to see the world but it’s true beauty is hidden from us.
