–noun.
a person able to ignore or deny certain realities, such as racism, sexism, classism, sexualism, ableism, or religious prejudice by virtue of the privilege associated with membership within a dominant group.

Simple Version: A person who just doesn't "get it".

Word Origin & History
A play on words, the pronunciation of “Not-See” invokes the word “Nazi”. The crimes of the former are passive instead of active – those who would turn a blind eye to injustice rather than perpetrating it themselves. The ideologies of both, however, are predicated upon a certain egocentrism, social privilege, and stark self-versus-other mentality.
1. In front of a gathering of people of various backgrounds, a white police officer introduces himself and explains why he came to work in that state.

"I'm here because I couldn't find work in California thanks to Affirmative Action..."

He does NOT SEE what is wrong with this statement and is therefore a Not-See.

2. "My dick is like a white-supremacist" -- John Mayer

Mayer is a Not-See for not realizing how fucked up this statement is.

A person who believes they are doing something right or good while being oblivious to the flaws in their thinking, belief, or execution is often described as having a "blind spot" or exhibiting
"confirmation bias" in their thinking, where they selectively focus on information that confirms their existing beliefs and disregard contradictory evidence.

Other relevant terms depending on the context could include:
"Self-deceived":
When someone is actively misleading themselves about their actions or motivations.

"Dunning-Kruger effect":
A cognitive bias where people with low ability overestimate their own competence, often leading to a lack of self-awareness about their mistakes.

"Illusion of superiority":
A related concept to the Dunning-Kruger effect, where someone believes they are better than others, even when evidence suggests otherwise.

"Cognitive dissonance":
When someone holds conflicting beliefs or behaviors, which can lead to them rationalizing their actions to maintain consistency.
They are so blind to their fallacies, I would call them a “Not-See”
