what colour is that?

it's not the first time; won't be the last time.
i was pondering about the rationale behind people's reactions (did i say unanimous?) whenever they come to hear that i am colour deficient. the reactions are almost always a point to something red or green and ask me what colour that is. and surprisingly (at least to them), i almost always get it right and they say "there, not colour blind what".
i've come up with a few possibilities:
1) they dun trust that i know that i am colour blind
2) they relish casting me as a freak in freak show.
trust me. i know i'm colour blind. unless... i am the few people who are not while most people are. too bad, i'm the minority, you guys call the shots. if you categorise me as colour blind, so be it. at least to my people, we see the same colours. =) if one day we outnumber you guys, trust me, i'll be the first to label you guys colour blind and ask you the same question.
