    The book and movie "a dry white season" beg to differ. From an African perspective I guess it is totally valid that white is the colour of death, dessicated bones baked by the sun, cleaned by the wind.

    A recommended read/watch where white is definitely bad: "a dry white season" by André Brink. Oscar for Marlon Brando in the movie version.
