In the documentary Little White Lies, I found it extremely interesting that the Schwartz family treated the topic of Lacey's racial identity, and identity as a whole, with a consistently color blind approach. As an ethnically Jewish family, one could assume, perhaps incorrectly, that there would be more compassion and empathy for Lacey's experience as a Black, Jewish woman; however, Lacey's family just sees her as "Lacey," which, in effect, invalidates Lacey's identity and experiences. One moment in particular stood out to me: Lacey asked her mother how much of an influence her (black) biological father's race had to do with her not addressing her affair, to which she replied, "none at all." Later on, however, her mother goes on to say that "none of this would have come out," as in her affair, and by extension, Lacey's identity crises, if Lacey's biological father had not been black. In saying this, Lacey's mother admits to Rodney's race being the ultimate contributing factor to keeping the truth about Lacey's biological father a secret. Like most people who treat race with a color blind approach, they are, yes, coming from a place of ignorance and discomfort, but are trying to perpetuate the idea of a "post race" society. In doing so, they are actually invalidating whole spheres of people's identities. This becomes dangerous because it then forces groups to feel even more invisible and powerless, while privileged groups retain their power and influence. Lacey's situation was extremely thought provoking in this sense because of her experiences as a "white" person, a jewish person, and a black person, and therefore makes you question how much of ones identity is rooted in biology, interpersonal relationships, and life experiences in general.
