Same here.

Their hoity toity reason...

“The AP said white people in general have much less shared history and culture, and don’t have the experience of being discriminated against because of skin color.”

and this from mprnews

“Our style continues to lowercase white, because it doesn’t represent a collective identity and history in the same way that Black does. Capitalizing white is also a longstanding practice of white supremacist.”

They've turned a color into what is effectively a country.

Substitute [name of country] for that particular color, and then re-read the sentence. Any country that shows up on a map will work.
