And I don't understand the downvote. The Google justice fighter didn't ask to rename "black hat" because of negative connotation? If it is about negative connotation, why is it wrong to examine all phrases, especially the ones like "black market" and "black hand"?
- prepend 6y agoIt’s wrong because of bikeshedding and spends resources on unimportant things. Racism is important. Hacking is important. Spending cycles working in these areas is better than helping those who struggle with googling “is blackhat a racist term?” In this case the speaker shut off discussion anyway by not participating. So he’s not “examining all phrases,” he’s issuing judgement on a phrase. And his judgement seems silly to me. I don’t know the subject so perhaps his material is great, but based on this one action it seems unlikely that his judgement would be great on blackhat hacking, but ridiculous in this area.
