This article interconnects critical theories of race that not only help to conceptualize and make sense of a color-blind ideology, but also aim to unsettle the philosophies and practices that uphold and maintain it within the university setting. In particular, I unpack three philosophical tenets of white supremacy that work in tandem to uphold color-blindness: an epistemology of ignorance, hegemonic whiteness, and neoliberal racism. Once analyzed, I discuss how color-blindness is intimately connected to both overt and covert acts of racial microaggressions on university campuses. As a way to resist and undermine both color-blindness and racial microaggression in academia, I draw on critical race theory and testimonio, as they engage with personal narratives, looking introspectively, talking about lived experiences, and validating individual knowledges. Within this context, testimonio has the potential to provides a liberatory and praxis-inspired framework that focuses specifically on unsettling and challenging an ideology of whiteness both within and beyond the university.
