10 Phrases That Undermine Your Credibility

I don't care what color you are--black, white, green, purple. Where to start? There are a couple of issues embedded in this type of statement. First, there are no green or purple people in our world. Next, people simply don't believe other people's claims of colorblindness. And I cannot think of a single context in which attempting to declare your personal nondiscriminatory views convinces others that you do not discriminate. Better than saying anything like this, which actually draws attention to our differences, is to just not discriminate. No words are needed when your actions speak for you.
