In this article, black is spelled with a capital “B”, but white is spelled with a small “w”. Right there is another form of racism.

They do this because the “experts” say so:

AP style will continue to lowercase the term white in racial, ethnic and cultural senses. This decision follows our move last month to capitalize Black in such uses. We consulted with a wide group of people internally and externally around the globe and considered a variety of commentary in making these decisions.

By the way the AP describes themselves as “THE DEFINITIVE SOURCE”

Agreed and I will never write black and white that way. It IS a form of racism but of course, in todays USA, Blacks cannot be racist, can they? BS!
