    Yes, brown is bleached to make white to satisfy cultural bigotry even in food. Is anything untouched? This post was edited by O-uknow at February 25, 2018 7:00 AM MST

    Light brown sugar is white sugar with 12% molasses. Dark brown has 15% molasses. Molasses is the flavor of rum. Is rum racist?

    That wasn't me.  That was Old School.

    Sugar comes in a lot more varieties than those three kinds.

    My favorite is high fructose glucose with just a smidge of galactose.

    Many people who don't like them or what they stand for would undoubtedly consider them "racist".

  • It’s only racist if you say white is better.

    Of course white sugar is racist. Like everything else, white is just better!
