Yellow road lines mean something different than white road lines. The hard drives I buy have black and red product names (one is faster than the other). Are these racist or just really convenient ways to differentiate ideas?

The good/bad white/black trope has been basic symbolism for a long time.

Might have been a day/night thing but certainly gets racial in today’s 1D cultural filter.
