I don't want to start a new thread and this seems as good a place as any since it concerns grammar usage. In journalistic articles, when referring to race, I now see the word Black with initial capitalization but white in all lower case. Are the rules of grammar now subject political correctness?

Here's an example from today's T-U:

"Yet he strikes a hopeful note, pointing, for example, to the makeup of demonstrators demanding change in protests across the country this year.

“What you see is a picture of America. You see Black, you see white, young, old, Asian, every kind of America is out there in those streets, demonstrating. That says a lot to people like me,” he said. “I’ve always been optimistic. I’ve always been a believer in the supremacy of this country.”"


 I know some on here attempt to paint this as a racist rant, but it's on honest question. Are the rules of grammar now changed?
