The thing I noticed was the fact that the NYT's style guide apparently requires the capitalization of the adjective "Black" when used to describe people, but not the word "white". I have often wondered about the Black/white thing, but figured I’d would be raciss to question.

I mean I get it from an identity point of view and white are just a bunch of mongrels who will repress all other groups given a chance. They need to be kept in place.
