No. The term 'blacklist' deprecated because it contains the color 'black', it's deprecated because it uses 'black' to mean 'not allowed'. This really shouldn't

No. The term 'blacklist' deprecated because it contains the color 'black', it's deprecated because it uses 'black' to mean 'not allowed'. This really shouldn't be so controversial, just use words that accurately describe what you mean.
- prohobo 6y agoThat's a very disingenuous claim, since this is obviously political, not about clarity. Or, do you mean it's being changed because of the use of "black" specifically? In which case that's not being questioned here, we're talking about why they see "black" as a specifically racial color.
