http://www.campusprogress.org/page/community/tag_rss/imperialism/html Tonight I am working on an editorial for our Campus Progress sponsored magazine, The InterActivist. Our staff decided to deviate from AP guidelines when it comes to racial identification. After talking to professors in the diversity studies and cultural education departments, we chose to capitalize "Black" and "White" as they refer to racial identities, not just colors. Also, we chose to move away from Hispanic, as the word is imperial and colonial in itself, describing the Conquistadors that raped and pillaged the indigenous Americans. Does anyone have any ideas on these issues? Should AP style be changed? Does anyone have any language preferences? These conflicts are always so interesting to me. http://www.campusprogress.org/page/community/post/Chelsea%20Toy/CHJ4 http://www.campusprogress.org/page/community/post/Chelsea%20Toy/CHJ4/commentary#comments Sat, 03 Nov 2007 21:51:29 EDT http://www.campusprogress.org/page/community/post/Chelsea%20Toy/CHJ4 Chelsea Toy http://www.campusprogress.org/page/community/profile_picture/52c724eda56836fc22_sjz1mvz4v.jpg Chelsea Toy Ohio University-Athens 3 http://www.campusprogress.org/page/community/comment_rss/CHJ4/
