Highlights This study examines the association between racial colorblindness and inaction to address prejudice. We conceptualized colorblindness as a type of legitimizing ideology that maintains inequality. Affective variables helped to explain the links between colorblindness and action. Such links function similarly across White, Underrepresented, and Asian American students.
