White & black skin are, practically, inherent qualities that a person can't really do much about. The argument that associating linking the properties to 'good' and 'bad' could make people feel uncomfortable makes sense to me. People (as evidenced by today's headline) do struggle to keep things separate in their head.

Then advocates of this should also be campaigning to stop using yellow as the color to indicate warnings, since it's insensitive to Asian-Americans.

But we all know they aren't going to.

Asians aren't yellow though.

And Africans aren't black, and Caucasians aren't white. Surprisingly, Native Americans aren't red!
