(12,265 posts)The immediate assumption was that I was disrespecting white people, I am one so that is not something I would do. I normally cap both in my teaching materials. I want to show respect for all of the participants and many people identify by those names.
Interesting the most overreaction I had from the crowd, which was pretty evenly split between White, Latino and Black was from the White participants. They acted like animals trapped in a corner, it made me very sad.
When someone notices a failure to capitalize I usually know I'm in trouble, it has happened before obviously I am not a very accurate typist I failed that class in school on purpose so I didn't have to do it the rest of my life. What I mean by trouble is, the small things are what we get caught up in, and it takes forever to get over the small issues to get to the big ones.
I don't see it as non-sensical when dealing with very hot issues like this. The little things mean more than you realize.
