You would have to give some examples. The Atlantic article about curtains refers to relative wealth and status, not to race. The wealthy white people in Brooklyn Heights, mentioned exactly once to accurately describe the demographics of that neighborhood, are used as examples of people who don't hang curtains on their windows (or don't close their curtains). According to the author that's a status display, nothing to do with race. If you think American mainstream media don't have editorial guidelines that discourage mentioning race or nationality, you might want to look at those editorial guidelines, because American mainstream media -- such as The Atlantic -- most certainly do have guidelines. In fact they follow guidelines so cautious that people from Trump to Musk have accused the mainstream media of censorship and bias and "wokeness" because the media does leave off things like race and nationality and even relative social status, bending over backwards to appear fair.
