I wonder if the words “blacklist” and “whitelist” have anything to do with racism (sorry if itʼs obvious, non-native English speaker here) 🤔
@LogicalDash @gergely I'd say yes because it perpetuates the pervasive racist idea that white is desirable while black isn't, even if these terms didn't specifically apply to skin color.
@gergely etymologically, no, but it's one of those things like, say, "chink in the armor" where it sounds suspicious and there are ready alternatives
