A Call For Humor!

nothing to see here, move along

Genuinely colour blind. Also a straight white male. First time in 40 years I’ve ever felt discriminated against. Can’t tell if you’re joking.

"We must rise up against the color blind" Since you are colour blind and not color blind, you can rest easy.

I’m colour blind. Can’t see a damn thing. Can anyone help?

I sympathize with the 2nd and 3rd parts of your reply:
Why certain people can't see stereograms:
The basic principle behind a stereogram depends on the ability for a person to merge multiple objects into one. There are many factors that could inhibit a person's ability to see the object hidden beneath the initial surface. As an example... place your thumbs and index fingers together in the shape of a triangle, and find an object in the distance to look at through the triangle. It must be a distant object! Independently close one eye, then the other... you will notice that you were able to see the complete object through one eye without moving the triangle. This concept is called eye dominance. Sometimes the brain will shut off one eye, and rely on the dominant eye, if the object to be viewed doesn't come in focus. There are many people who need corrected vision that don't realize it because of the human ability to adapt.
Another possible cause is convergence. At close range (12-18 inches), your eyes converge an average of 3mm...but this is not so for everyone. Just as you have a dominant eye for distance, you will also have a dominant eye for near. After years of depending on one eye to do the majority of the work, you can depend less on convergence and adaptability. By allowing your eyes to relax, and blur....you attempt to override your brain's intent, and allow both eyes to be equally dysfunctional. Thus, images begin to overlap and the muscles that control your eyes are less likely to fix at the same point that they normally would. The same people that have problems crossing their eyes...even a little...will have the greatest frustration when attempting to view stereograms.
Other conditions such as esophoria and esotropia can cause the eye to move inwards...(commonly called a lazy eye), and exophoria and exotropia (a tendency nfor an eye to shift toward the temple), will have an impact. I would suggest that people could adjust their distance from the stereogram and have a greater rate of success. A distance that works for the majority, doesn't always work for everyone. And last but not least...I would enjoy the statistics relating the ability of person to see stereograms with regard to their profession. Analytical/Artistic mindset?
If you fit into one of these categories, then you are in the lucky few. You actually have an excuse for not being able to see the image. Otherwise, buck up and try a few different methods of seeing stereograms.

2nd to last word formally requires a capital for the first letter.
Last word ends the sentence; requiring a period.

This is all well and good but the picture being referred to is not a stereogram. It’s a flat picture but made so that the color blind can’t read the text

My apologies, I didn't realize you weren't kidding around

And fell flat on his back.

Give a man a duck and he’ll eat for a day....

Teach a man to duck and he’ll never walk into a bar.
