We also capitalize the Native in Native American even though it’s just an adjective.
Comment on Do black people actually want to be called Black with capital B?
Apepollo11@lemmy.world 1 day agoWe do capitalise community names though - like deaf vs Deaf.
This is the same, it’s not being used as a description of how someone looks, but to what community they belong.

Interesting, never heard that with respect to Deaf or whatever.

I agree, I would use a capital when writing about “the Black community”. Otherwise it would be lowercase (“a black person/a white person”)

Never seen that anywhere before. I don’t think your ‘we’ is the same as our ‘we.’
