Does this make you automatically racist if you accidentally capitalize "w" in White?

How does this make that obvious? Did BLM demand this from USA Today?

If this is what USA Today did voluntarily, then BLM has already weaponized the potential for outrage. They don't need to ask

Were they doing it for other groups and just forgot to include “blacks” or I this the only situation?


I think its the former. Spell check wants me to capitalize Chinese, Hispanic, and Irish in the sentence below.

I love how they all scream about systemic racism, but so far the only solutions provided or discussed are hilariously arbitrary. If racism is so pernicious, then there should be obvious answers available for implementation.

Hey, Jussie already helped get an anti-lynching bill passed. Before that, lynching was, apparently, legal.

I had to stop reading USA Today. It is like the editors are Nancy and Chuck. Every frigin section has a negative headline about Trump that is pathetically biased.

I sure wish someone would create an actual news outlet instead of the crap we have to select from now.

From the start it's been the flyover country version of The NY Times, dedicated to PC. The only difference is USAT is written for the reading level of retarded 12 year olds.

And that “Black” was racist?
