Does it annoy you that the Left blatantly capitalizes "black" but not "white"?

When describing race?
Is it because one is technically an ethnic group while whites are considered a race?
What's the deal here? I see it all the time now.

It's done purely to virtue signal and it bothers me because they are changing grammar arbitrarily.

No. I just do it the opposite way to piss them off.

Really?
This has been going on since last July.

NEW YORK (AP) — After changing its usage rules last month to capitalize the word “Black” when used in the context of race and culture, The Associated Press on Monday said it would not do the same for “white.”
The AP said white people in general have much less shared history and culture, and don’t have the experience of being discriminated against because of skin color.
And yeah, it's beyond stupid.

Thank you. I appreciate you providing a source for me.
Gonna attach that to the original post if you don't mind. Will help clean some filth out of this thread.

Yes, I've seen it like that before; it's akin to Progressives, the Tea Party, Libertarian, et cetera. The Left is a political movement.

It doesn't bother me at all. Neither does cracker or honkey. But I don't capitalize black when referring to black people, and I'm not going to start. It's a stupid virtue signal.

I filled out a State form yesterday that listed White as a race. I checked other and wrote in Caucasian.
White is not a race. smh
White is not a race. smh

Dims capitalize the B in black to place emphasis on the importance of that Dim voting block....subtle pandering.
Posted on 4/30/21 at 2:34 pm to starkvingrad
Nah. They are petty.
Posted on 4/30/21 at 2:39 pm to starkvingrad
I've noticed it but it doesn't bother me because I'm a very humble guy. You can call me 'zach' instead of 'Zach.'
Posted on 4/30/21 at 2:45 pm to starkvingrad
It just another example of how cheap and petty left wingers are. I try to ignore them the best I can
