网考网解析：
本题是推理题。文中第二句说color blind听起来是不错的，但实际中有色人群受到的是不公正的待遇。由此可判断出color blind本来旨在公正地对待有色人群，即要忽略肤色的差异，对有色人群一视同仁。color blind本意是“忽视颜色”，此文中比喻要同等对待不同肤色的人。A、B选项走了两个极端，既不符合该词本意，也不符合文中意思；C选项“不能区分一些颜色”是color blind的字面意思——色盲，但题目问的是在文中的意思。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
