Language Guide
Readers will come to this book with varying levels of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) vocabulary. The dialogue around DEI is continuously evolving, and words can have different meanings for different people. This brief guide provides a common language framework for the rest of the book. It is not intended as a glossary, but rather to clarify how DEI language is being used in Inclusion, Inc.
Black
Why is “Black” capitalized in this book, but not “white,” when referring to race?
In July 2020, the New York Times announced that, after a month of discussion, they would capitalize Black when describing people and cultures of African descent.1 Hundreds of news organizations, including the Associated Press, made the same choice in the spring and summer of 2020. Most news organizations have declined to capitalize “white” because it is an identifier of skin color, rather than of shared experience.
