DC Delegate (AKA COngresscritter without a vote) did say white parking lines were racist to explain her massive fail caught on tape: Maybe it was the paint, not the parking space???

Stupid is as stupid does.
The Norwegian people will finally have their answer on the whole illicit, racist paint question though. I'm sure they all agree it's a proper use of taxpayer monies.

Apple has many products in white. Seems to be part of their brand identity.
Have we studied whether Apple is racist? Subconsciously?

In science class I learned that white light contains all colors of the spectrum. That means white paint is a rainbow of colors.
Ponder that.
Let me help you out. Which way did you come in?

I have questions....
If white paint is determined to be racist, must all other colors be tested for potential racist overtones?
What about bleach? Bleach turns things from color, to white? Is that racist as well?
What if titanium dioxide is determined to be racist, and then decides to identify as another color or simply as not being racist? What then?

Chemours which used to be part of Dupont is one of the largest suppliers of white pigment aka titanium dioxide. It is a very profitable business. Titanium dioxide goes in Oreo cookies and makes white paper even whiter. Also in toothpaste. Yeah black filling in oreos and black paper to write on.

Norwegian government funds research to find out if white paint is racist
I usually like to make thoughtful comments, but, this is so utterly st00pid I'm at a loss. It's fracking paint, fer chrissakes.

The reality is they had too much money and needed to give some college students something to do. I think that is a lot of what goes on with these research grants....

Perhaps in lesser colleges. Typically a proposal needs to be carefully written and then presented to the graduate faculty in order to go forward. Admittedly some of the past research was ridiculous. Senator Proxmire used to hand out the Golden Fleece award. Here is one winner:
