I also found it. It's not at all what the tweet claims, but then that doesn't make for good outrage.

I found it too. The document does say to capitalize Black but not brown or white. The style note does not have that reference, however. Either the “X” poster faked it or Delta changed it. It looks pretty legitimate based on the style note I found as in same type face, graphics etc. would be pretty easy to fake if you had the original document.

It also says why. Essentially, "Black" is a proper noun, "brown" and "white" aren't.

$395 million in lost US sales is a recovery? Competition saw 50% sale increases in the same Beer category is a recovery? CEO claiming, listen to this, 40% of drinkers who boycotted Bud Light might be coming back is a recovery? That’s a hilariously sad claim to brag about to investors. But yeah sure the stock down almost 40% in 5 years has recovered and everyone has forgotten lmao.

Bud Light has not recovered. The stock price might have but sales are still way down. It is still mocked as the trans beer at bars. Hardly anyone orders it anymore. Walk down Broadway street in Nashville. You won’t see anyone drinking it.

I don’t have a problem with capitalizing or not capitalizing but I don’t see in the document a reference to it being a proper noun but rather a formal ethnicity and thus the capitalization.
