A worthy time killer for the budget priced theater, but it definitely did not change my life. Good, but not great. It has a few funny moments. The set up was efficient, but not particularly moving. The premise strains suspension of disbelief, but if you just let go and enjoy the spectacle, it turns out to be decent popcorn cinema.

Many analysts argue colorblindness as the reigning ideological buttress of a historically distinct form of structural white supremacy, color-blind racism. In contrast to slavery and legal segregation, color-blind racism is theorized as covert and highly institutionalized. As such, analyses of contemporary racial reproduction often emphasize the structure of color- blindness, particularly the habitual routines and discursive patterns of everyday white actors. Though invaluable, this work may conceal whites’ innovation in reproducing, revising, and at times resisting white supremacy and corresponding logics. As opposed to focusing on the structural elements of colorblindness, I elevate colorblindness as a culturally recursive ac- complishment grounded in an epistemology of ignorance—that is a process of knowing de- signed to produce not knowing surrounding white privilege and structural white supremacy. Qualitatively analyzing 105 family wealth analyses produced by white college undergradu- ates researching racial inequality and the wealth gap, I identify four epistemic maneuvers by which students creatively repaired a breach in normative colorblindness. Demonstrating in- novative means by which ordinary whites bypass and mystify racial learning highlights their vested commitment to maintaining and creatively defending the ideologies that buttress ra- cial domination and white supremacy. As such, this research additionally advises updating strategies for challenging whites’ colorblindness
