yet here you are, capitalizing the adjective "black".
So, one is a "sheep" if he agrees with the style books that categorize ethnic groups as proper nouns (e.g. White, Black, Hispanic, Native American, etc)?

You sound like a bit of a snowflake.

I am genuinely curious. Please explain the reason that you feel ethnic groups should NOT be treated as proper nouns.

Pretty much. Some of us can think for ourselves. At least it signals your virtue to others.

For how long have they done that? Does it get capitalized when referring to just the ethnic group or even as an adjective for a single individual?
