What you call "white" and "black" people are actually neither black nor white; rather, they differ in the darkness of the red component of their skin color. (Though most don't view brown as red, its color breakdown is dominated by red; some cultures do see brown as a type of red.)
This actually ties in with why clippys don't visit earth. To put it bluntly, "These beings terminate each other over relative skin redness. I'm silver. Exit!"
But, Clippy, we humans also fight over natural resources like iron ore... doesn't that make you happy?
Not if it means the iron ends up in some unusable or useless form, as is too often the case in these wars...
If you are an alien AI, how come you use human colors?
ETA I mean, what colors you see depends on what cell types you have in your eyes. Red green and blue makes a lot of sense for a creature that lives in earth atmosphere and eat earth fruit etc. But what did your creators want you to distinguish that used the same colors?
I would imagine Clippy is referring to the way humans see colors. That is, when e says "silver" e means "silver as seen by humans".
