Despite negative outcomes associated with color-blind racial ideology (CBRI), limited research has explored the contributing factors associated with CBRI. This study explored associations of mindfulness and openness to diversity with CBRI above and beyond pre-college and college diversity experiences among 221 White undergraduate students recruited from two public universities in the Southeastern United States. The study revealed seven statistically significant predictors for CBRI: four factors (i.e., openness to diversity, mindfulness describing, college quality of interracial contact, and college formal diversity experiences) were negatively associated with CBRI, while three factors (i.e., mindfulness nonjudging, mindfulness nonreactivity, pre-college perceived emphasis on diversity) were positively associated with CBRI. The study offers practical implications in addressing CBRI among White college students.
