Consider the moments in which white children are taught to not notice race. There are almost always moments in which a white child hears that it's not good to notice the race of a person of colour. it is rare-to-never that children are told not to notice when someone is white. White is typically not marked in the same way that being Black or Latino/a is marked. Thus a message intended to communicate that "all races are good as each other, don't notice!" is actually received by kids as "it doesn't matter that person is Black or Latino/a, we should like that person anyway." The implication is that blackness or brownness is somehow undesirable or shameful. It shouldn't be held against the person. And, more subtly, we white people are somehow doing well and being kind by not noticing that difference.
