> Society (or media) assigned a racial default.

There is nothing wrong with the majority becoming seen as a default. It is inevitable, because defaults are useful, and choosing anything else would increase the fraction of the time that it's wrong.

You're absolutely right. But look up the thread at what was being said.

We were talking about "yellow" being racially neutral according to lego and how that was proven wrong by lego themselves.

Same thing happened in US media (by media i mean all mediatic content).

Its the cause of racialized realities. It absolutely is the result of racist societies.

And sure, the majority being a single race is a neutral fact today. But how we got there is absolutely through a racist history.
