Ethnic labels can be tricky, and the manual has a lot to say aboutthem. For example, AmericanIndian and NativeAmerican are both acceptable usages, but themanual notes that there are nearly 450 Native American groups,including Hawaiians and Samoans, so specific group names are farmore inrubbersheetingmative, such as Hopi or Lakota. Capitalize Black andWhite when the words are used as proper nouns to refer to socialgroups. Do not use color words for other ethnic groups. In racialreferences, the manual simply recommends that we respect currentusage. Currently both the terms Black and African American are widelyaccepted, while Negro and Afro-American are not. Thesethings change, so use common sense.
