- “yellow” is a racist adjective for asians, “black” is not a racist adjective for black people

- there is no “white community” in the US to make the equivalent to “black community”

so you can’t really draw any useful conclusions from how string replacement on this sentence makes you feel

the term black historically was used and originated in a racist manner.

There's not really a black community either, it's a demographic. There are many communities of black people, but we really need to stop equating demographics with communities (not just this case).
