PSA and reminder:
The terms "blacklist" and "whitelist" are racially charged. Please use "blocklist" and "allowlist" instead.
Yes, the terms are old. Yes they're not directly based on race. But they _are_ based in the systemic idea that "white == good; black == bad". Just because something is traditional doesn't mean it's acceptable.
It took me a while to see just how insidious little things like this are, too. It's ok to take some time to understand. Just please switch terms while you do.
@danhunsaker no lol.
unless I see you advocate for the same with karate, where white belt is the lowest rank and black belt is the highest rank, i think it's safe to say that you're reading too far into things and virtue signalling.
