It is my grammatical understanding that the races should be capitalized.

Interesting. I always thought that the words for racial identity were just ordinary adjective, didn’t need to be capitalized. But as you may have heard, at least one medua organization has decided to uniquely capitalize “black.“

While “Caucasian” and “Negro” should be capitalized, “black” and “white” should not be, even when signifying races.
