Genuinely unclear if you made a poor choice of words intentionally or unintentionally.

Oh my...

English is not my native language, and I am not in America or anywhere near. Bad wording may happen anytime. Bad interpretation as well.

In general, when I say something that has a double meaning, then I usually mean both. I am a complicated person.

In this case, colors have been mentioned, and I know that especially some Usamericans are overly sensitive in this area. I cannot fulfill their special needs (and I am not trying), neither regarding racism because I am not racist, not regarding fear of racism because I don't fear it. Try to not read my words in their way.
