Hello all, never posted on PT before. But I just have to bring light that this AP Stylebook web page exists. I won't even need to highlight the strange parts of it; as you read it they'll just keep coming.

Truly bizarre.

The latest (7th edition) style recommendation by the APA (American Psychological Association has a more consistent rationale than AP:

quote:

Spelling and Capitalization of Racial and Ethnic Terms

Racial and ethnic groups are designated by proper nouns and are capitalized.

Therefore, use “Black” and “White” instead of “black” and “white” (do not use colors to refer to other human groups; doing so is considered pejorative).

Likewise, capitalize terms such as “Native American,” “Hispanic,” and so on. Capitalize “Indigenous” and “Aboriginal” whenever they are used

The irony is that half of those terms will be politically unacceptable by the perpetually offended in a year and all of them in 10 years.
