Why is it called Black Friday?
Isn't that a bit...racist?

Dude, don't bring racist into the mix. If you was so curious just google it. But I did the work for you.

The term "Black Friday" originated in Philadelphia in reference to the heavy traffic on that day. More recently, merchants and the media have used it instead to refer to the beginning of the period in which retailers are in the black (i.e., turning a profit).

Happy, do you see racist or any indication of a black african american in it. NO...
