Why do teams generally wear white at home in basketball?

Its done in baseball as well but at least that makes sense since its played when its hot and its a way to stay a little cooler. But why not wear the main team color at home?

That's racist.

its because a long time ago, some team from a defunct school that... hmmm, I don't really know why. that's a good question. another good question is why football teams don't wear white jerseys at home games?

That's really funny that you asked this question, as my Son asked my that same question a couple of weeks ago. I suppose you may be able to look it up, which I haven't, so I really just don't know.
