"Be as specific as possible"

So I can get it wrong, trigger someone, and send them into a mental health death spiral?

No thanks.

There is, at this time, less support for capitalizing white. White people generally do not share the same history and culture, or the experience of being discriminated against because of skin color. In addition, we are a global news organization and in much of the world there is considerable disagreement, ambiguity and confusion about whom the term includes.

We agree that white people’s skin color plays into systemic inequalities and injustices, and we want our journalism to robustly explore those problems. But capitalizing the term white, as is done by white supremacists, risks subtly conveying legitimacy to such beliefs.

The fear being that if you capitalize "white" you will convey legitimacy to the belief that there are systemic inequalities and injustices; but if you capitalize black & brown, but not white, you will be able to convey the fact that we are all equal?

Was pleasantly surprised to see I had already sold my little bit of delta a couple months ago when I went to check.

Delta sucks lately anyway. I had a short round trip last week consisting of one layover going and one on the return trip. I was delayed three times on three seperate aircrafts due to mechanical issues. I'll spend my White dollars with a different airline next time I fly.

Why does the image quality look like something from an early 2000's digital camera?

I just love how 'inclusion' never means including everyone.

whites need not apply at delta apparently.

If you look closely at the top left you can see that is the 2023 handbook. The newly released 2024 handbook says to put White employees in camps.
