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.

Wow the racist just keeps getting deeper and deeper

Just in: The reason why certain chemicals are white is because they're racist.

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

No, the black ones get deeper.

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

Yup. It’s like giving you a silver car free from primer, paint and clear coat. It would save the manufacturer oodles of cash.

And I’d also like to remind people that news’s primary focus is not to report facts, but generate sales. The way they do that is spinning events in any way shape or form. Even going so far as not covering certain topics because it may hurt their bottom line.

The worst thing they did was convince people they were unbiased and trustworthy.
