I just sold an internet product I built that contains both “Whitelist” and “Blacklist” rules. I didn’t think anything of it at the time. I added the names a few years ago. However I also grew up in the 80s and Dukes of Hazard was still a popular enough television show that I was specifically not allowed to watch it by my mom for reasons I did not understand at the time. [1] As far as changing language of the rules in the product I built, or would build I have no problem using something neutral. Software developers are used to deprecated language. Function and class names are changed for any number of reasons, sometimes just because they are inconvenient to spell. If some people feel that Master Slave, or Blacklist Whitelist constitute micro aggressions, then why put up a fight to switch to neutral language? Just deprecate the syntax and return the narrative and focus to problems developers can overwhelmingly agree are getting in the way of establishing a more inclusive developer community.
