Also isn’t white just the natural plastic coloring before any dye?

Yeah, most plastics are either transparent or milky white-ish without colourings or additives.

So you’re saying that plastic itself is racist.

It’s like, it’s totes not bad enough that plastics are colonial icing our planet and converting it into a microplastics sanctuary to rid all life from the planet.

But they also have to wear white… smh

Good ol’ CNN post-purchase. Chasing racism and sensationalism over actual news…

White is an excellent color for a complicated robot. Marks aren’t hidden. It’s not taking light away when looking in at hardware, it doesn’t shade surroundings as much, and it matches every other damn piece of scientific equipment they throw in to labs, too.

Color neutral and bright has utility purpose. CNN is too stupid and dishonest to know that.

Also, it’s not an actual skin color.

To be fair it wasn’t CNN doing this groundbreaking “research”.

Yes, but the article only exists because there is this academic cottage industry that produces insane grievance studies in the first place.

Anyone remember the movie Ice Pirates? There’s a whole scene in there about the color of the robot.

I saw it in the theater as a kid. Love that crazy movie.

“Why did you make it black?”

“Cause I wanted it to be perfect.”
