I don't know about the US, but I've always thought that, just like chicken pork has both white and red meat. You can sometimes see it when you slice a pork loin [1].

Yes. The typical pork chop in the United States contains so little fat that it is closer to a chicken breast than a fatty cut of beef.

Ok, so the fat determines the way people think about it, but the meat's color is still red, right? If it were white I'd make a big circle around it since I'd assume it's spoiled.

More of a very light pink than red. I've definitely mistaken a pork chop for a chicken breast when glancing through my fridge.

It's marketed as "The Other White Meat".
