  That's a hoax just like the "ok hand gesture" = "white power" debate. It started as a joke on 4ch, now everyone (even big tech) believes in it because of a few thousand (social) media reposts.

    You’re saying that the debate about the terms “whitelist” and “blacklist”, and presumably also “master” and “slave”, is a hoax?

  Oh good grief.

  In the same way that "master recording" or "master branch" or "mastering" are somehow not inclusive?

    You'd be surprised how many people get offended (usually on behalf of others) by this these days ...

  Is that really necessary when the origin and usage of both words have nothing to do with race?
