Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Your friend's comments are an example of colourblindness, a perspective that ignores or dismisses the importance of race and the impact it has on people's lives. While well-intentioned, this viewpoint overlooks the systemic and institutionalized racism that exists and can prevent meaningful conversations and actions to address inequality.
