That's ironic, since everyone has some degree of brown skin pigmentation.

Where you guys home schooled or something?
The names of the various racial or ethnic classifications/identities - Asian, Hispanic, Caucasian, etc. - just like ancestry - Russian, German, British, American - have been capitalized for all my life. More than half a century. And, in breaking news, we do the same with religious identities. Jewish, Christian, Muslim, etc. Yes, when you use the term "white" to describe White people, it too is capitalized. |

Ever since I heard the term "imprisoned person" and "formerly imprisoned person" as the new PC version of "prisoner" and "ex con" I've been using those terms in legal papers but not managed to provoke a response yet. I will certainly be using BLACK and white, now, lol

This is more akin to referring to Asians as "yellow people" and then determining that Yellow in reference to Asians needs to be capitalized. Or that Brown needs to be capitalized for brown people. I guess it's funny that black, white, and brown are ok descriptions, and yet yellow and red are racist, lol. We need a new system to replace white, black descriptors, as they never made any sense anyway. Even really dark black people aren't black. The whitest white person is a very pale beige/pinkish unless they are dying/dead. Maybe we need to drop the fake colors that divide us and go with... low melanin peoples - caucasians, some hispanic, asian mid melanin people's - hispanic, arab, asian, Jersey shore cast high melanin people's - african, aborigine

I figure it was public school since you said "where you guys home schooled or something" instead of "were". |

Lower case used to be the polite form, because it deemphasized noticing ethnic blocks in favor of casual, incidental skin color. Times change.

Our answer to these things should be to refer to people's color by the Sherwin Williams color guide. I'm referring to myself as "certain peach."

The AP Stylebook was just updated with the same rule: Black is uppercase, white is not.
I work in a job where I live and breathe the AP Stylebook. I don't agree with this decision, but it's not the first time I haven't agreed with one of their rulings. I also don't like using the % key instead of spelling out the word percent. Oh well, consistency is the thing . . . move along, nothing to see here . . . https://blog.ap.org/announcements/the-decision-to-capitalize-black |

The 15th meaning of "black" in the 1997 edition of the Random House Webster's College Dictionary is "(sometimes cap.) a. a member of any of various dark-skinned peoples, esp. those of Africa, Oceania, and Australia. b. African-American (def. 1)." For "white" it says, "21. a person whose racial heritage is Caucasian." These meanings all appear within the noun sections of the definitions for "white" and "black." |

They do not describe a racial descent or nationality. A white man can be from dozens of countries. Equally so with a black man. They are as useful as describing an ethnicity or country of descent as hair or eye color. Which again, basic English news flash, are ADJECTIVES which remain lower cased. Just because YOU want to fuck with the English language and how it functions, does not make it legitimate. |
