I myself have used the term' don't see color' and I never thought of it in a negative way. It didn't occur to me that others might see it that way though.... I think it depends on the context. When I used it, I meant that I didn't care what color a person was, black or white or other, I like people in general and find other cultures very interesting.
In terms of the middle class in Jamaica, I'm not sure that there is no racism or predjudice... maybe it is just unacceptable to admit that you might be.
