Everyone is more worried about offending us than helping us.

It doesn't refer to literal color-blindness, though I personally think the term is a little clumsy and makes me think of the fake woke folks who 'don't see color'.

However, I Googled it and the Wikipedia literally gives a bunch of different terminology for the concept.

Nontraditional casting, integrated casting, blind casting or rarely colored washing (short for color-blind/gender-blind casting) is the practice of casting without considering the actor's ethnicity, skin color, body shape, sex and/or gender.

>how can I best change the wording so that anyone can enjoy the presentation?

If you're uncomfortable with the term, use one of the many other terms for the practice.

Just a note, I'm a sighted VI professional, not a blind individual.

Doesn’t to me. I’m low vision/legally blind

I think you're getting caught up in the social justice black hole there. Practically nobody cares about this stuff, and I'd say anyone who does care probably needs to figure out their priorities a bit.

Don't overthink it. I wonder if an outfit who needs to refer to "colorblind casting" in the first place is probably already overthinking it.

Jesus christ no

No it is not. I am blind, and I have never been offended by things like this.

Disclaimer: I am sighted, but have a number of blind and VI friends (and fiancé). I don't speak for any blind people, I am just speaking from my experience with a few of them. None of them would find the use of the world "blind" outside of a visual impairment context offensive, unless it is deliberately being used as an insult. For example: "blind playthrough" (of videogames) or "blind faith", they would be fine with. Over time in English the word "blind" has been used in many contexts, not just directly for eyesight issues but also for "unknown/oblivious".

There are many properly ableist things that really piss my friends off, like assuming blind people can't do certain things that they are perfectly capable of.

You should also ask colourblind people what they think about this terminology.

Like others I am not offended, there is a hole lot of shit to be bothered by that words don't harm... Address the issue that people with disabilities are still being discriminated against in casting opportunities.
