W/r/t to the term "black-box" being racially coded, I regard that as cheap virtue signalling and a little insulting to the people it's meant to "protect". It's not a hill I'm going to die on, but I don't view that behavior as part of an actual solution towards an equitable society. I've noticed that in my line of work, "black-box" often gets used to describe a process that isn't understood thoroughly by the end-users or stakeholders. I once heard a VP complain that an ARIMA model was a black-box. Had a good chuckle at that.
