Robots are white for the same reason Apple computers are white: to chase that 2001 A Space Odyssey aesthetic that's become shorthand for "futuristic."

The Space Odyssey is racist too??

(Actually I haven't seen it, but a movie from 1968, wouldn't surprise me, if it wasn't all that PC)

It doesn't even really involve people (there's 1 guy and an AI).

But HAL was totally racist against humans.

You haven't seen it?

Wow.

But no, doesn't involve that.
