In another timeline, or another universe, the tritone might not have been considered unholy, but the clash would still be there. The people of the dominant culture might have not condemned the sound as much. Maybe it would have been used. Maybe another genre would have been created that included the tritone. But it would still sound the same without a context. The interval sounds the same. I don't know if it's right to say music theory is racist. It's more accurate to say 'music history prefers white people.'
