I'll be honest - never before had I ever considered that to be racist, or even thought about it. But my employee mentioned that someone had told her that was racist, because the statement is apparently suggesting black is negative.

I can sort of see the argument now, but part of me thinks it is just being ultra sensitive too and making something up that isn't there. Because I always took that statement to mean the two were the same...not that there was some negative connotation to colour.

Don't know, so I thought I'd ask.
