Racism?

Can anyone tell me why the Michelin Man is white?
He's supposed to be made of tyres and tyres aren't white, far as I know.
At very least I suppose he is a poster-boy for the morbidly obese. Specifically the French white morbidly obese, I suppose.

By the way, became very excited in Paris when I discovered La Michelin Boutique.
It is exactly what it sounds like it is. Voila!

And look what they sell!

J'e voudrais un... snow... dome... s'il vous plait.

Oh jeeze! Clothing for the morbidly obese? I thought you just draped a sheet around your pile of hideous rippling flesh....

Did you buy anything from that store?
