Fairly tale's are changed all the time to suit the time usually in bigger ways. Some fairy tales that we grew up with had violence taken out or ending's changed. Hell red riding hood had sexual undertones in the original and was changed because of the kids. A change in clothing color should not be that big of a deal.
sexual undertones in 'little red riding hood'?
i'm pretty sure i read the old version of that one and don't recall any.
seriously, you don't see the silliness of putting witches in pink outfits?
what about getting rid of white paper?

Reason: because i can
How about this: human beings are not actually the color white or black. So why don't we stop calling people black or white and then impressional toddlers won't associate witches in black clothes with black people (when does that ever happen?). We already stopped calling people yellow and red, so dropping white and black for human identification purposes shouldn't be so hard.
Black has been dropped in favor of African American. White is the only color that is still used to describe people.
It's absolute lunacy to believe that children will extrapolate opinions about other human beings from the colors of inanimate objects.
Football = bad?, baseball= good?, soccer ball = harmony (or, depending upon its colors, perhaps utter confusion)?
Discrimination against people is something children learn form observing how those people are treated within a society. Abstract symbolic paranoia concerning the color schemes of everyday life doesn't play a role.

Black has not been dropped. Plenty of people still use it. And what about people of African descent living in Europe? Are they African-Americans too? Surely, we can find a better way to describe racial groups than using colors.

Better yet, why even describe racial groups at all?
American corporations use Human Resource dept to usher in the social scientist pap nursed at the breast of government grants.
There is no end to the creative ways a social scientist PhD candidate will devise to earn a place in the professional community. Again mostly constructed by grants from the government.
Politically correct has gone way overboard and crippled our economy by hamstringing business to the point of paralysis. The edge of creativity has been deemed of bounds and the content of this divel has become ammunition used for political advantage.
What will a diversity consultant barter with when society falls apart due to uheeded warnings of human caused global warming?
