      Some people mistakenly think that the “black” in “blacklist” is a reference to skin color, so they demand it to be changed.

      I’m honestly glad we’re getting rid of white/black list. I personally couldn’t give a shit the racial element (which wasn’t what they ever meant anyway), but I never have to stop and think about it for a half second to figure out which I need. Allow/deny list are just outright better names.
