The AP isn't the NY Post. I take them at their word that they'll stick to this policy, because they're not sensationalists or click-baiters. The stories they're talking about aren't even news, so they shouldn't pick them up at all, but this is a good initial step. Other platforms will still run the garbage in all its naming-and-shaming glory.

I admit I click on all sorts of "Florida man" stories for a good laugh, but I never care about the perpetrator.

AP made a policy that they would capitalize one race and won't capitalize the other. So putting AP on the moral high ground is silly. They are being run by racists who lack self awareness.
