The article covers tesla CEO Elon Musk’s criticism of the Associated Press (AP) style guide regarding capitalization of racial terms. Musk objected to the AP’s rule that capitalizes “Black” when referring to the race but leaves “white” in lowercase. He questioned why “white” is always lowercase while “Black” is capitalized, calling this practice racist and unfair. The AP explained that the decision to capitalize “Black” was based on recognizing a shared cultural and ancient identity among Black people worldwide, whereas white people generally<\/a> do not share the same cohesive history or experience of discrimination based on skin color. Musk rejected this rationale, labeling legacy news outlets<\/a> as biased against white and Asian people and advocating for either all races to be capitalized or none. The AP acknowledged ongoing debates about this issue and said it will continue to periodically review the style guideline. The article also includes social media reactions and notes that the AP Stylebook, first published in 1953, is currently in its 57th edition.
