The concern about the color white in a home and car being misinterpreted as a racial statement is unfounded. Friendly interactions with neighbors and community involvement demonstrate values more effectively than color choices. The notion that people judge others based on the colors of their possessions is exaggerated. There are more direct ways to express beliefs and values, making color choices a non-issue in conveying one's stance on race or community relations.
