@nicholas @sun @thatbrickster sure, but times and context change. people are going to make wrong assumptions about what that means so it makes sense to bring the lowest common denominator to something without unintentional implications. i doubt people will stop saying blacklist/whitelist but that's fine, it's not a slur, especially for the reasons you mentioned. but for the thing that is placed in front of everyone in such a wide variety of contexts that you could never even imagine all of them, it's good to keep things unambiguous. we design UIs and iterate on them this way, nothing wrong with doing that with language, too.
