Color Blindness it's a dissability and it has lost me a jobs or two.

I have no sympathy for people who use "disability" as a clutch to why they are too lazy to do something correctly/efficiently at all.

Adapt or Die, that is what it is to be human.

I had a friend who was completely colourblind, he explained how matching clothing was difficult because there was these abstract concepts of "red", "blue", "yellow" etc. It was even more complicated as some of abstract concepts "clashed" or "complimented".

He got around it with wearing blacks, whites and greys, with pre-arranged shirts he knew from trusted friends and family went with certain things.

He did, however; was able to join the military because of his ability to see through camouflage. It was uncanny.

Wow, really? That's awesome. I've honestly never heard of that happening before. Colour blindness is one of the things that they usually specifically test for, and will disqualify you for (AFAIK anyways. Everybody has to take the test, and I don't know anybody in the military who is colour blind. But then again, I don't actually know of anybody who was denied because of it).

Colour blindness limits your choice of military career massively, almost anything that isn't just being a regular soldier is off limits. Things like the fact that many of the more complicated vehicles are all colour coded as well as the varying ammunition types they're carrying, or being able to recognise more subtle symptoms in a person based on colour as a medic or something.

A person with monochrome vision sees through camouflage because there is no visual cue for matching colours, all they see is movement and patterns in the shapes and lines of something.

I had a friend that didn't have colour blindness per se, but his perception of colour kept on changing. He had a rainbow shirt saying "This is the colour red"

Good stuff.

Seriously,
discrimination or not, you don't want to work for someone like that. Try to find someone with a decent mindset and less of an inferiority complex.

If you're family is hating you for having this dissability you should adress the issue. Or you could burn their house down. With combustible lemons. Combustible perfectly shaded black&white lemons.


Edit:
Go gothic, go black! If your clothes are just dark enough it shouldn't be that much of a problem.
Dark Brown or dark Blue? Who cares as long as it is dark enough!

I would put in a complaint against her. Hiring managers do make mistakes and if you think that she handled the situation inappropriately, then there are means to put in a complaint.

In the meantime, clothes can and will get mixed up so I think you should get some fashion-savvy colour-seeing friend to label ALL your clothes and put together outfits with shoes e.g. interview set 1, go to club set 1 e.t.c.

I thought you couldn?t either but apparently, it just limited the jobs he could do. I remember he came into class one day happy that he was going to basic. I don?t know anybody happy to got to basic but he really was.
