This page has been so badly infiltrated I can't clean it up. I removed as much offending text as possible, but there is much more that I can't without changing the facts of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.162.77.10 (talk) 15:43, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like we should capitalize the b in black and w in white, because it refers to an ethnic group. Just like how you capitalize the c in Chinese or g in German. Thoughts? Poopykibble (talk) 03:26, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
