Names of racial and ethnic groups are treated as proper nouns, which means they are capitalized (e.g., African American, Asian American, Black, European American, First Nations, Hispanic, Native American, Latinx, White).

“Names of racial and ethnic groups are treated as proper nouns, which means they are capitalized (e.g., African American, Asian American, Black, European American, First Nations, Hispanic, Native American, Latinx, White).”

That is an interesting comment.

It seems like it has been in just the last couple of years the AP stylebook adopted the capitalization of “Black” to underscore the move to stigmatize that non-monolithic group whose membership I have no idea how to describe.

AP decided not to capitalize white.

If Black describes black people, where do brown people fit?
Is it a matter of self identity; or is the old “one drop rule” still considered valid?

Only recently has it been prevalent that the liberal media began to capitalize “black”. We on FR raised a stink when it began. Maybe it is technically proper (which is doubtful), but it has not been common usage until the woke fascists started it — IIRC just after druggie George Floyd became a saint.
