Does wanting to keep master/slave and white/blacklist while also keeping information and resources for people historically (and to some extent currently) disadvantaged by systematic oppression mean that basically everyone will be mad at me? What do you call this position?
Edit: The Google admin panel won't even populate the "allowlist" when you search whitelist which is frustrating. I'd at least like it to show up, even if it's believed to be important enough to change.

- readthenotes1 2y agoTo you maybe. I worked with a woman whose relatives didn't make it out of Auschwitz. She objected to us initializing System Services. Silly?
- zer8k 2y agoThe silliest.
- 9283409232 2y agoYes.
- justsocrateasin 2y agoI also had relatives that didn't make it out of Auschwitz. I could not care less.
- wvbdmp 2y agoGermans are a bit touchy on this. There are a bunch of two-letter or two-digit combinations you can’t have on your license plate, for example. Somemore far-fetched than others. At some place I recently heard about they use two-letter initials (extremely collision prone, but whatever), except for people like Nadja Schmidt. It’s definitely silly, but otoh I guess all culture is silly…
- Etheryte 2y agoI'm from a group of people that was historically oppressed in slavery, can I keep using master/slave or do you decide that it's offensive for me? Of all the things that are a problem in the world, this is by far one of the weirdest and silliest hills to die on.
- kfrzcode 2y agoIf you're a person you're likely from a group of people that was historically oppressed in slavery. The list of peoples who were not oppressed, historically, is very short. Humans have treated each other horribly for many, many generations.
