We are fortunate to be living in a time when intolerances are becoming recognised, so that something can be done to turn them into acceptance and/or compassion. Sadly, some people are aware that certain intolerances are currently not acceptable, but are not ready to give them up. These people may pretend that certain sorts of people are wearing a cloak of invisibility.
These people may refuse to see certain other people in order to avoid offering them jobs, giving them proper service as customers, acknowledging their culture, or even just to look them in the eyes to say "hello." This is called intolerance expressed through blind spots.
