The Washington Post also capitalizes the “W” in white. They list their rationale here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/pr/2020/07/29/washington-post-announces-writing-style-changes-racial-ethnic-identifiers/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/pr/2020/07/29/washington-post... As a white person, I agree with the staff of the Post. It would be conspicuous and demeaning to capitalize every demographic identifier except “white.” White Americans also have a distinct cultural identity, extending back to the writings and observations of Alexis de Tocqueville, which is more than just the actions of white Americans’ worst examples.
