> Grandfather: This term has its roots in the "grandfather clause" adopted by Southern states to deny voting rights to Blacks.
> Red team: "Red" is often used disparagingly to refer to Indigenous peoples, so its use in this context could be offensive to some groups.
> Blackbox: Assigns negative connotations to the color black, racializing the term.
> Brave (do not use): This term perpetuates the stereotype of the "noble courageous savage," equating the Indigenous male as being less than a man.
This is the pseudo-intellectual equivalent banning any word that contains "ass" because "ass" is a bad word.
Anyone involved in the production of this document should be embarrassed and ashamed.
- KMag 4y agoSomeone's going to go ballistic when they run into lecture notes on red-black trees. Skip lists are also ableist. Hopefully we don't find anything troubling in the pasts of Adelson-Velsky and Landis, or AVL trees will also be on the chopping block. At least they'll probably be able to lecture about treaps.

- soundnote 4y agoI have to congratulate them: That brave bit at least is new.
- ancapsfascists 4y agoIt's definitely not, the braves have faced criticism over their name and iconography for a long time

- Sirened 4y agoremind me of a couple of different crumby """anti-cross-site-scripting""" filters you used to be able to find. They claimed that they'd remove dangerous input so that it would never hit your backend. They did this by deleting any harmful looking input, which had the fun consequence of turning this invalid input: <script<script></script>>alert("hax")</script<script></script>> into this: <script>alert("hax")</script> which now is an actual hazard. Always amusing when things which were meant to make things better recreate the same problem just in a worse and harder to deal with way :)

- midasz 4y ago> Blackbox: Assigns negative connotations to the color black, racializing the term. The way I think about something being 'blackbox' is neither positive or negative. It's just not knowing. Looking into a dark room and not seeing what mechanism is inside it, merely knowing there's a door with a key and something comes out of it when I open the door. I think speech is important, but most of these seem generated by chatgpt.
