Well, all I ask for is consistency. If "Black" is to be capitalized, "White" should be too, all men (and women) being equal and whatnot (though I suppose you could argue "Caucasian" is capitalized). Still, I don't like politicization of colors and I actively want to defuse attempts to politicize the word "black". It's getting so bad that literally the color black is coming under attack - for example the python formatter "black"[0] [0] https://github.com/psf/black/issues/1830 https://github.com/psf/black/issues/1830

A polite request isn't an attack. And it looks like they were trolling.[1] [1] https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/issues/304 https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/issues/304

  In a lot of cases the request is only polite initially, and you'll get mobbed by Twitter if you politely decline.

    I've seen dozens of these. 100% of the time a maintainer has closed it or people have dog piled the requester. Find an actual attack if you want to claim an attack.
