The most racist thing about this entire story is this wire report from ESPN after yesterday's game. Clown world to capitalise "Black" but not "white".
Wait till you see the NYT justification for this.

Based on those discussions, we’ve decided to adopt the change and start using uppercase “Black” to describe people and cultures of African origin, both in the United States and elsewhere. We believe this style best conveys elements of shared history and identity, and reflects our goal to be respectful of all the people and communities we cover.
quote:
We will retain lowercase treatment for “white.” While there is an obvious question of parallelism, there has been no comparable movement toward widespread adoption of a new style for “white,” and there is less of a sense that “white” describes a shared culture and history. Moreover, hate groups and white supremacists have long favored the uppercase style, which in itself is reason to avoid it.
quote:
The term “brown” as a racial or ethnic description should also generally remain lowercase and should be used with care. “Brown” has been used to describe such a disparate range of people — Latin, Indigenous, Asian, Middle Eastern — that the meaning is often unclear to readers. A more specific description is generally best.

like the violent factions of BLM, black panthers, and various black power Muslim groups haven't used a capital B.
We live in some bizarro world where people are caving on their values for weird stuff.

So, if there is less of a shared culture and history among white people, does that mean I'm absolved on the sins of the slaveowners? Does that mean there are white people who don't share the culture of privilege we hear about so frequently?
