  How do you feel about the 2001 game “Black & White” by Electronic Arts?

  Funny you say that, because the generally accepted style is Black and white. Here’s Microsoft’s style guide for another example.

    US race relations are really, really weird.

      I mean, I’m not complaining about the lack of a White History or Straight Pride Month

    TIL

    Generally speaking, capital “W” White tends to have supremacist overtones in print.

    You got what I was getting at. It’s a sign I’ve noticed. Some commenters will make it a point to type White and black or will use constructs like “a black” or “the blacks.”

    Lots of generally accepted bigotry throughout society, even in the constitution

  I just only seem to think it came from some idea from the NY Times, and I don’t think anyone says White, so it just seems, off kilter I guess I’d say. Of course I will say whatever is proper, but it’s just, odd.
