AP says it will capitalize Black but not white
After changing its usage rules last month to capitalize Black in race and culture stories, The Associated Press says it will not do the same with ‘white’ in its influential Stylebook
NEW YORK -- After changing its usage rules last month to capitalize the word “Black” when used in the context of race and culture, The Associated Press on Monday said it would not do the same for “white.”
The AP said white people in general have much less shared history and culture, and don't have the experience of being discriminated against because of skin color.
