A 'color code' seems to have been formalized in the census; I assume they capitalize it, but I can't remember. From Wiki, on 'Color Terminology for Race':

'In the 2000 United States Census, two of the five self-designated races are labeled by a color. In the 2000 US Census, "White" refers to "person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. In the 2000 US Census, "Black or African American" refers to a "person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa.

'The other three self-designated races are not labeled by color.This is due to historic negative associations of terms like "Yellow" (for East Asians) and "Red" (for Native Americans) with racism. However, some Asian Americans and Native Americans have tried to reclaim these color terms by self-identifying as "Yellow" and "Red", respectively.'


But, a lot of things 'shouldn't happen' that do, in modern spelling and usage. I doubt our desire for correctness is going to change any of it. Language evolves and changes.

I was an English major. Neither should be capitalized.

I learned that in the 3rd grade. At that time, grade schools taught English composition.

Everyone knows it shouldn't but they are afraid to tell the St. Floyd of Fentanyl worshipers to stick it.

Let’s be realistic. It’s not the people who you reference pushing this, it’s white academics and intellectuals.

Today being color blind is considered racist.

"We saw a white girl in Iowa do it to a bunch of Black girls," Pierce said. "That gained my respect. That gained my respect. She didn't beat other white girls from Colorado or wherever. She did it to LSU, who we thought were some dogs. She put them on her knee and spanked them. I didn't expect that."

Is he calling the LSU women's team bitches?!

He could have articulated it a little better.

It may be true, but enough of the black vs white warfare.
Enough of it .
Articles like this are just fodder to store people up.

When white straight phenom Caitlan goes to the Indiana Fever and reverses the decline and singlehandedly brings profitability to the league that has been losing money and attendance for years, there’s gonna be a lot of pissed off envious lesbians that are gonna have to make nice with the only white player who also happens to be the only straight player will be the only player standing for the anthem in the arena.lol Suck it up, girls!

Larry Bird was like that too. One time he yelled at the other team for guarding him with the white guy.
