ok actual question once again I have noticed that "black" ("Black"?) is now being capitalized in news media I vaguely recall that recent historical practice was to use the non-capitalized variant Is there some kind of new guidance (???)

The circle from "colored people" to "people of color" is remarkable

Asians families have not been here as long & they came here not as slaves but as immigrants, so they have stronger ties to Asia & even stronger ties to individual Asian cultures. They feel less need to invent new names to define themselves. They're more like European immigrants.

Visited S. Africa for work; was surprised by: 1. References to race where Americans would avoid it. I might say, "What was the name of the tall, brown-haired fellow?" but never "[…] of the black lady?" 2. Use of "black" to mean very dark-skinned, "colored" for other non-whites.

FWIW, I noticed these usages by people of various races. I wondered how "non-white" one would have to be to qualify as "colored".
