The day after Thanksgiving is called "Black Friday."
Why isn't that considered to be racist?

The term "Black Friday" has always been in financial reference to small business ownership. 'Black' refers to an Accountant's balance sheet showing the business to now be operating in the black (black ink), versus operating in the red (red ink), otherwise known as a 'loss' when red ink is used on a balance sheet.
It's usually the last month of the year where any small business finally turns a profit after operating at a loss for most of the year.
The only people who attach a Racist connotation to the term "Black Friday" are those who associate the color 'black' with a human Race.
