The lowercase white is a color, not a person.”

As race continues to dominate the national conversation, it’s worth digging into why a simple matter of typography is so meaningful. Sure, you could just start capitalizing White ― that action isn’t just AP-approved, it’s culturally sensitive ― but the reasoning behind doing so matters.
