I don’t think you’re being totally honest about the double standard of this. Imagine that some people (with benign intentions) wanted to capitalize White to claim a cultural identity. After all, most whites in the US have lost the distinct European identities their ancestors had. Do you think this movement would be met with acceptance and support?
I think these kinds of double standards are what make the culture wars so inflammatory.

"Acceptance and support" is subjective, but this is a fairly common orthographic style which has been discussed at length. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/time-to-capitalize-blackand-white/613159/ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/time-to-ca...
