Then there are those troubled that our policy will now capitalize 'Black' but not 'white.'
...
The Times also looked at whether to capitalize white and brown in reference to race, but both will remain lowercase.
...
white doesn't represent a shared culture and history in the way Black does,

what a load of garbage  
and that last sentence is so racist, yet they don't even see it

Totally.  "Black" is not a race or culture or shared history - because there are lots of black people in this country who emigrated from different countries more recently, and they certainly do NOT have a shared history with someone who has lived here his/her whole life.  I would also point out that someone who grew up in the projects in Chicago will have a different shared history/culture than someone who grew up in middle-class California, which will be different than someone who grew up wealthy in Atlanta; or if you grow up with a single parent vs. a 2-parent household; or an abusive parent vs. a loving family; or a large family vs a small one.  There is no single way to be "black" in this country, and it's disgusting to lump everyone together like that.  "Black" is not a homogenous group of people - each person is different, and trying to put every black person in a box is as dehumanizing as overt racism (it's just "soft" racism instead.
