Oh, he's very white. And ex military, so I know he's been shot full of damn near everything, which may also play a part here.
I have some color blind dudes in my program and have had to institute some standards so they can LITERALLY SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING and they are deeply uncomfortable with asking for accommodation. I get it but at the same time I make cracks about how no we WILL be accommodating white men in this program.
They put up with it from me because we've been in the field together but they absolutely can't hear it and won't tolerate it from, say, HR. They'd rather just not be accommodated than have the conversation. I really get it, because I'm often the same way, and also it grieves me.
