yellow - minor offense - a reference to Asians?
red - major offence - a reference to North American and other Indians?
black - extreme offence and banned - a reference to Africans?
Why not use non-race associated colors, like green, blue, purple?

The colours are from the flags used in real racing, in order of severity -
yellow flag (slow down), red flag (race stopped), black flag (driver
disqualified). Nothing to do with racism IMHO.

It's a generic bbs forum software package that does this.
I think it's more likely that the colors are from soccer, not racing.
After all the other non-racing sim forums that use it, mention
yellow card and red card (and they don't use public warnings for
first offenses).

Some will be quick to point out that he can't actually have babies, not
having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even RSC's, but that he can
have the right to have babies, which is symbolic of his struggle against
oppression.
First I was being a bit sarcastic with this thread, but nobody got
it, so I mentioned soccer, since the few forums that have such
a system refer to yellow cards and red cards.
At least there aren't any green people, and please don't give
the USA judges or congress any ideas.
I certainly do not want blacks intermixing and intermarrying with
whites!
I demand a change - we should all write to Bernie Ecclestone.
