Seattle Times to Capitalize “Black” but Not “White”
Sometimes the liberal ruling class is subtle about its preferences, other times not so subtle. When it comes to persons of politically preferred pigmentation (PPPPs), subtlety often gives way to ostentatious reverence. This affects even the Newspeak Dictionary, which has been revised by the Seattle Times.
Via KTTH:
“We’re making a change to The Seattle Times stylebook that takes effect today,” according to an internal memo written by PM news desk chief Melissa Davis on the morning of December 18. “The decision was made after research by staffers, discussions with members of the Diversity & Inclusion task force and senior editors.”
The big change: the word “black,” when referring to PPPPs, is to be capitalized. The word “white,” when referring to racistly melanin-deficient Caucasians, will explicitly remain lowercase, because,
“Capitalized white is often used by the white nationalist/white supremacist movement.”
That is, it would be racist for them to treat the word “white” the same way they treat the word “black.” Those who disagree are no doubt racists.
Be sure to return here often for updates. If you fail to keep up with the constant arbitrary rule changes, you could lose your job. Imagine the hell that would break loose if you were to refer to someone as “colored” rather than as a “person of color.” (It might be better to type “Person of Color” just to be on the safe side.)
On a tip from Varla.
Well this was an extremely important issue ...tackled and solved by the caring daring left ......
