Unintentional/Vestigial racism/discrimination in consumer products

Caucasian colored Band-Aids...why make most of them this color? Delete that whole idea and go with bright blue (I saw this once in a BBC show called "Chef" where one of the workers lost their band-aid and it wasn't blue as required by their food handling regulations) or some graphic design, just not that color only. I suppose there will be times when you don't want a bright blue bandaid on you...I dunno.

-update...it appears this is already being addressed very well by some manufacturers


"Skin Color" crayon...is that even a thing anymore? Why did it ever exist?

Please add your own examples of vestigial discrimination or racism

Angel/Devil cake. Oh so blacks are devils and whites are angels?

Pool: Last act of the game is a white ball hitting a black ball into a hole, who designed this? the KKK?
