At UCLA, a professor who changed the capitalization of the word “indigenous” to lower case in a student’s dissertation was accused of “micro-aggression,” apparently because he preferred to follow the University of Chicago Manual of Style, rather than the student’s attempt to enhance the importance of being indigenous.

More and more, I see articles where the word “black” is capitalized, the same article with the word “white” is not capitalized. some F.R. members are doing the same thing.

Neither word gets capitalized, as they are adjectives.

I am sorry, but no ...

I am Black, I am not an adjective.

People really have too much time on their hands.

This reminds me of the killing fields of Cambodia internment camps.

They were run by children and if n adult looked at them the wrong way or they simply did not like them they got the plastic bag over the head.

These university types are completely removed from reality as if what they say is law.
