no, but the colour orange would be called 'black' and then we would have to see another name for the other black colour maybe 'orange'...so 'orange' would be considered racist

A rose is a rose, is a rose.
And since oranges were here long before racism, and if they
were black and called black, they would not be considered a
a racist name, since the name came before racism.

the name of the fruit came before the name of the color... like a tangerine, which is in the same family, has a similar name... -ANGE-
so, if an orange happened to be black, it would still be called an orange because originally the word orange referred to the plant, not the color. thank you. : )
Source(s): i wanted to know what came first, orange the color or orange the fruit, so i looked it up on wikipedia.org, i think. it was a while ago. i hope this helped you. and just to be safe, i would call it african american... - Franklin JLv 51 decade ago
if orange were black then the Dutch would be wearing black when they play and that will be odd
