      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.

      White = light, day, sun -> great for human daily activities, so it’s positive

      Black = darkness, night -> spooky, dangerous and not great for human activities, so it’s negative

      That can be universal, not tied to a specific culture.
