A three-panel SMBC comic about a conversation on race. The exchange (read with the 'EARLIER' panel first): a man asks a confident red-haired woman what she sees, after she claims 'When I look at people, I don't see race.' She replies, 'Then what do you see?' / 'Bees. Bees arranged in human form, thinking they're fooling me.' The punchline panel shows her declaring, 'I see the truth bees. The truth.' The joke turns the colorblindness cliche into paranoid nonsense about people secretly being swarms of bees. Votey: a close-up of the man's stunned face as he says, 'That's crazy!'
