Yes, skin color does matter, read up on Critical Race Theory. To be colorblind is to be racist because it ignores the disadvantages one can't see due to one's own privilege.
The theory states that inequality is due to racism and anyone who is part of the dominant race not only benefits from racism but unconsciously perpetuates it. This is why everyone is so sensitive, because this is what is taught in the humanities in college. "Everything is racist, everything is sexist, etc."
You mean, physically? Colorblindness probably wouldn't be a useful trait in this context as differences in skin color are usually seen as shades of darkness.

Serious question, if everyone was colourblind, what disadvantages would there be?

No, I don't mean physically.
