A Letter to the Editor

If it is... how is saying "ting" and "da" colorblindness? And what's the opposite of color blindness anyway-- colorseeingness?
And since when is blindness of any sort a virtue? How about color-seeing-but-it-doesn't-adversely-effect-my-behavior-or-thoughts-ness?
Color blindness is wonderfulAny guesses-- is this tongue in cheek? Is this a joke? It couldn't be-- could it-- for REAL?
When someone asks, “Are you haole?” I respond, “Why what I did?”
When someone says, “What comes after two?” I respond, “Tree.”
I now say “da” instead of “the” and always great people with a friendly “howzit.”
I legally changed my name from James to “Kimo.”
President Obama says there is not a White American or an Asian American or a Black America, there is only the United States of America.
Color blindness sure is a wonderful thing, or should I say “ting?”
James “Kimo” Rosen, Kapa’a
