Swedes make up 1% of the US population, while Black’s make up 10%. Just statistically speaking, but a Swedish name is going to way more unique than a Black name.
And Black is capitalized for the reason Swedish is capitalized.
- mc32 5y agoNo it’s not. Capitalization of black is political. It’s like deciding to capitalize “women”. I don’t capitalize black or white, nor caucasian, unless the person is from the Caucasus. I capitalize African and Asian because they are place name demonyms which get capitalized in English.
- daenz 5y agoMy point wasn't "use Swedish names", it was to use unique sounding white names, names that are as representative in the population as black names are in the population. In other words, if a "white name" is as unique as a black name, does it receive the same amount of bias, or different?
