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

No.  Though I have to wonder do you assume every time someone uses a color it is racist?

It is called Black Friday because it is the biggest shopping day of the year and puts retailers in the "black" as in profits.  Compared to being in the "red" which would be losses.

EDIT: Beaten by seconds
