You're arguing in a very pure way to make absolutely no distinctions in the way we see and treat people based on their skin colour,
Neither of the two people being dicks about this are making that argument. One of them is pretending to make that argument to cover simple racism, while the one you're responding to is off on their own, unique tangent (one that leads up their own arse).
which is admirable
No, it isn't. At best it's ignorant defensiveness, trotted out in a reactionary fashion when somebody feels that a group they're a member of is being accused of bigotry. More often it's just a blunt attempt to sidestep their own bigotry. Miro is off on some other path and I'm sure they'll explain it at tedious length at some point (and at no point as accurately as "alt-woke").

I'm only talking to Miro, there's absolutely no reaching alt right bigots.
And I may have misunderstood Miro's argument but I think it's clear why - I suggest that you need to see colour to understand the concept of privilege, and Miro says that that seeing colour is the argument used in favour of racial profiling, as though it were a) true or b) relevant to a discussion about privilege.
If he's arguing for anything other than colour-blind approach to the world he should say so, because that's all I got from what he said.

Yes, but in a more meaningful way, no - it's also the argument used AGAINST racial profiling.
You're arguing in a very pure way to make absolutely no distinctions in the way we see and treat people based on their skin colour, which is admirable. But unless we see the different ways in which people with different skin colours are treated, positive and negative, we cannot as a society compensate for any unwarranted discrimination (or in this case, unwarranted privilege) they receive as a result. I believe in equality of opportunity. This is one way we get there.
