I don't see a lot of white painted robots around. I actually don't see a lot of painted robots around in the first place

Or humanoid robots period

That robot looks like a caramel sundae. Oh my god I’m hungry

Sure, there is likely some racism involved, but it also has absolutely nothing to do with white being the cheapest type of ABS and PLA plastics. Greed trumps racism. And that was the most unintentionally descriptive sentence I have ever said about MAGA-ism.

I've been told black plastic doesnt get recycled at the recycling plants because the sorting system doesn't work on black plastic.

That sorting system is clearly racist.

From what I heard about on offhand comment white is used for more sleek-ish shapes and make things seem while black can make things look more intimidating and smaller. I’m pretty sure the size thing is used mostly in interior design

Don’t trust me on this citation needed for this whole comment

This is a common design principle. White seems bigger and inviting, black seems smaller and not as inviting. It's just how light works, it's not about skin.

Well Tesla's new robot is black so? I don't know what to think.

"From now on we'll paint them..." *rolls a die* "...blue."
