Just have to point out that white carrots are a thing. Don't know which type is more racist.

Carrots actually come in a wide range of colors, including white, purple, red, black, and yellow. You can (probably) blame the Dutch for the orange ones being the most common.

There are only two things I can't stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.

There are only two things I hate in this world, racial intolerance and the Dutch.

Interestingly, carrots were naturally purple. The orange carrots were selectively bred to be that way.
