Speaking as someone who said "I don't see color" embarrassingly late in life, there's a high correlation between saying that, and not acknowledging systematic issues and biases that mean your "not seeing color" doesn't make life better for people of color, and can make it worse.
Or to put it another way, "I don't see color" is what you say when you want credit for being a good person but don't want to do any work to make life better for people whose color is seen, often intensely, by others, and by society.
(And by "intensely," I mean "negatively.")
