What is radical copyediting?
The concept of radical copyediting is based on the premise that there are at least two primary ways to understand the purpose of things like grammar, dictionaries, and so forth.
The first is that these language tools separate out those who are educated, enlightened, or “well bred” from the “common masses,” thereby serving the purpose of maintaining cultural norms around what—and who—is most valuable and “normal.” Language rules and standards thus become tools for keeping power consolidated in the hands of elites.
The second is that these language tools are designed to increase comprehension and help the widest number of people to communicate effectively and access the meaning behind language. Language rules and standards thus become tools for bridging the differences between us and helping each other understand the many different ways people experience the world.

“Black” vs. “black”
Can you explain why sometimes Black is capitalized, but white isn’t (when referring to people)? I did this in a paper but my advisor told me to make them both lowercase.
