Lowercase everything may be technically correct but if we're going to assign racial groups to colors, using uppercase isn't the worst, but it has to be consistent.
It also could just be them defaulting it to proper noun status as an adjective subconsciously. The same way you'd capitalize something like German, despite it being the same level of descriptive, so your brain does the same to White/Black.
That's what's gay about this particular thing. It turns grammatical habits people have into a politicized battlefield, and ends up getting you tarred for something you probably didn't mean.
Worst thing is that it has become so normalized that I didn't even notice it.

My phone automatically capitalized black until I made it stop.
