Why we don't call people "blacks" and "whites", Dec. 22, 2016, via SplinterNews, viewed Mar. 19, 2021("The core problem with 'a' black and 'a' white is that they imply there's a word missing--person. A black person. A white person. It's the grammatical equivalent of de-personization, or dehumanization: Person is gone. Race is all;" "The split second it takes to expand 'blacks' and 'whites' into 'black people' and 'white people' is a small price to pay for accurately characterizing people's lives")
