> CBS News said it would capitalize white, although not when referring to white supremacists, white nationalists or white privilege.

Oh, interesting - so would I be correct in saying that "white supremacists" are people thinking that White people are superior to others, whereas a "White supremacist" is a White person who is a supremacist of some group, e.g. "A White male supremacist"?
