      It doesn’t have racial origin, but it has pretty strong racial connotations.

      What isn’t racist if even basic colors are racist?

          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.
