A recent video titled "Colorblindness" has been making waves on Reddit, shedding light on the humorous yet often misunderstood world of colorblindness. In the video, the narrator hilariously recounts an experience where a date mocked his colorblindness, which he aptly describes as a "huge gray flag." This witty remark has resonated with many, sparking a lively discussion in the comments section.

One commenter humorously noted, "bro wont se the red flags coming," while another applauded the joke with a simple "solid joke 👏." The video also drew attention to a common misconception about colorblindness. One user shared, "I'm colorblind and people assume all the time that I can only see grey," pointing out that complete color blindness, known as Achromatopsia, is extremely rare. In fact, only about 1% of colorblind individuals have this condition.

For most colorblind people, the world isn't devoid of color; they see colors differently. Statistics reveal that about 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women are colorblind, with only about 1 in 33,000 people experiencing complete loss of color vision.

The video also sparked some playful banter, with comments like "Actually, it's a dark grey tending to black flag" and "Father of the year." Despite the lighthearted nature of the video, it serves as an important reminder of the daily challenges faced by those with colorblindness and the misconceptions they often encounter.

This entertaining yet insightful video has certainly struck a chord with viewers and is a must-watch for anyone looking to understand colorblindness better while enjoying a good laugh.
