I would love to hear the rationale for capitalizing one race over another from these woke editors. I am sure they will just string together a bunch of platitudes into a meaningless word salad that they think makes sense.
Try capitalizing white, but not black. That would be considered a 'hate crime'.
It's called capitalization racism.
“This is now becoming the norm, even in newspapers.”
It STARTED in newspapers. They defined it in their “style guides” and other writers emulate them.
