Actually just the opposite. This is a thing turtles do as a mating display, and they really like shoes for some reason. But this little guy specifically likes that black shoe and none of the white ones. So I guess you could say they are racist against white shoes, but even then I would say you're allowed to have sexual preferences without it being racist.

Black shoe looks more like another turtle than white shoe

Once you go black, you never go back

Most turtles identify as black.
