Look at the headline from Graham Greene's obituary, updated 9/2/2025.
No, it wasn't like this previously.

"Indigenous" is capitalized in the article too.
Greene would have laughed. After international fame from Dances With
Wolves, when asked if he called himself a Native American, he reminded
the interviewer that he was an Indian born in Canada.

I refuse to capitalize words like "black" (or "indigenous") when used
the way they are in that headline. It's just more pandering to the woke >crowd and I'm not playing that game.

"black" as lower case was discrimination given that Chinese, referring
to a people (several very large ethnicities) or a nationality is
capitalized, ignoring the common English reason that the word is derived
from a name that is a proper name as a geographical term.
But "white" was not to be capitalized.
There isn't a consistent use on "brown" that I've noticed, but that'sI'm not sure if this odd capitalization is going to be ongoing or was
not even a racial term or a term for a group of related ethnicities, and includes numerous people who till yesterday were considered white.

Not just that 'black' be capitalized, but that 'white' remain lower case.
Because of course.
