Incorrect.
"Some consider white to be a colour, because white light comprises all hues on the visible light spectrum. And many do consider black to be a colour, because you combine other pigments to create it on paper. But in a technical sense, black and white are not colours, they're shades. They augment colours."
That's an opinion piece on art...come on, try harder. I'll wait for you to do what I did and post a definition, not someones musings.

How is Karen racist. Surely you are being racist against real Karen's for implying that calling someone Karen is racist.
Think of poor Karen in all of this.

Especially since the bar for racism seems to be Karen and gammon. But what part of africa are your people from is fine.

They're still opinion pieces...come on, you can do it!
I'd rather "bigot" but I'll work with it.
It is when one changes their name to a traditional African one and then dresses up in African clothing, you *keep that ignoring that rather salient point*.
Hold on. You didn't provide a source, so your definition could be an opinion piece for all we know.

Having no need to ask a question about someones heritage, yet asking anyway, is racist because... they don't need to know?
Also, I can see no connection between asking someones race and saying "this black guy".
It's like anything to do with race or colour or foreign **** in general is taboo, the sooner that stigma goes the better. I don't see how racism is not such an obvious thing
Just seen this. WTF? You have literally transposed the word heritage with race and are asking why it's racist?
I wasn't going to join this but you guys peaked my interest. I did some digging and the answer is. It depends on your point of reference for what a colour is.Definition of WHITE

Do you consider what you perceive with your eyes to be the colour spectrum, then yes white and black can be considered as colours.
However if you consider what is actually emitted by electromagetic waves and how your eyes detect the colour white (red, green and blue colour cones are stimulated by their respective electromagnetic waves, like how we are all stimulated by this discussion
) then no neither black or white is a colour.
