RSC's warning system, racist?

Note the colors they chose for their infractions.
Is this a form of racism?

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?

it is a known fact that this web page is a haven for racists as is the
race industry in general. there has been a systematic movement to
intimidate and harass minorities such as me as well as blacks and asians
from the sport.

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.

Jeff, let it go, mate.

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).

At least you have answered your own question, otherwise I sense a one
man campaign to ban racist traffic lights all over the world for some
more politically sensitive pastel shades...

Funny, but slightly disappointing not to find a single Monty Python
reference in your reply, have you lost the touch ?

Goy, I believe you are suggesting that Jeff is a symbol of the
oppression of the evil force known only as RSC and we should refer to
him from this point on as "Loretta" and fight for his right to have babies.

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.
