Good ol' CNN post-purchase. Chasing racism and sensationalism over actual news...
White is an excellent color for a complicated robot. Marks aren't hidden. It's not taking light away when looking in at hardware, it doesn't shade surroundings as much, and it matches every other damn piece of scientific equipment they throw in to labs, too.
Color neutral and bright has utility purpose. CNN is too stupid and dishonest to know that.
Also, it’s not an actual skin color.
I dunno' man, some Irish and Swedish folks are suuuuper damn pasty-white. Give 'em a little scare and some turn paper white. xD
As someone whose entire heritage is Irish and Swedish, I'm jealous of that robot's tan.
Of course not. Real people don't actually glow in black light....

People with albinism disagree
To be fair it wasn't CNN doing this groundbreaking "research".
They reported it as true.
Yes, but the article only exists because there is this academic cottage industry that produces insane grievance studies in the first place.
Plus if it's outside, there are fewer heat issues.
And if things go wrong, it can't lurk in the shadows.
