[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Black students actually aren’t “so underrepresented” in AAP. Just look at the data. They are however severely underrepresented at TJ. [b]Also, please don’t say “blacks”.[/b][/quote]

Huh?  Last I checked that was the appropriate word to use to refer to that racial group.  Just like we'd say "whites," "Asians," "Hispanics," etc.[/quote]

No kidding.  This whole summer was “BLACK Lives Matter”.  The proper term for that racial group is in fact “black.”[/quote]

Oh my goodness you all don’t even know how racist you sound. I said don’t say “blacks” not don’t say Black (and remember to capitalize the B). Use google and look up why.[/quote]

I have never known to capitalize b. I don’t capitalize white. I don’t think b is capitalized.[/quote]

If you’re not going to do a freaking google search just admit you’re racist and stop writing.[/quote]

Don't be a d*ck about it.  Just educate people that racial groups are now to be treated as proper nouns in writing and should be capitalized.  This includes White and Black or Asian and Hispanic.  The same goes for ethnic groups and we no longer hyphenate terms, e.g., it Asian American not Asian-American and African American not African-American.  So Black is fine, but black is not when referring to the racial group.  These rules are in the APA Style guide.  [/quote]

I have to admit, I never heard this before and assumed it was some SJW being all high and mighty.  Thank you.[/quote]
