Many (all?) of the 'social justice'-type websites I visit always capitalise the 'B' in 'Black' (when referring to people), but never capitalise the 'w' in 'white' (when referring to privilege or people). On diversityinc's website, the author even explains about some correspondence:
On feministing (I selected a short piece but almost any article on the site will do), we learn that Black women are more than twice as likely as white women to live in poverty after retirement.
Obviously, there seems to be something I'm missing. Why the unequal treatment?
(Note: The person commenting used a lower case b for Black; we use an upper case B.)
