The Guardians style guide says let the writer decide:

https://www.theguardian.com/guardian-observer-style-guide-b

"There is debate about the capitalisation of black, with some using it as a physical descriptor, others to describe a specific cultural group, therefore while generally lower case, if a subject, writer or editor of a story prefers to use Black then that choice should be respected."

The Guardian is far from a politically-unbiased source.
