Capitalizing adjectives that define colors

[dfrecore]

I am just afraid of further divisions and another way for the liberal media to put a wedge between various groups.
Especially since a color is not a culture or an ethnicity. And this is true for any color.

Our country needs to heal and this is not a good way to do so.

What you say is so true. I found this capitalization very strange and unnecessary too. However, I am an international student and just accepted it as some American convention. I think capitalizing terminologies that highlight skin color would subconsciously program people to only grow more strongly attached to their racial identities, when the need of the hour is to actually downplay and minimize such identities. I wonder if they will soon also capitalize Brown?? So unnecessary.

A game is only good if all follow the same rules, the problem is I just see a student wanting to follow the capitalization and a teacher disagreeing with it.

I guarantee you this will happen.  A student won't know the unwritten rules, and break them without knowing what they did, and be called racist.  100% certain it will be a white kid.
