TO THE EDITOR:
While visiting UNC Chapel Hill, I really enjoyed Chiraayu Gosrani’s piece, “Anti-Black and unequal.” However, the fact that he consistently capitalized Black (and, once, Latino), but not white, is a very problematic technical choice.
Specifically, it implies that, while Black is a legitimate term for a certain group of people, white is not, which is at odds with the main thesis of the paper:
The American school system unfairly privileges whites over other ethnicities. Perhaps it was just an editor’s mistake, but this choice of capitalization indicates some subtle bias on the part of Mr. Gosrani.
