PSA and reminder:
The terms "blacklist" and "whitelist" are racially charged. Please use "blocklist" and "allowlist" instead.
Yes, the terms are old. Yes they're not directly based on race. But they _are_ based in the systemic idea that "white == good; black == bad". Just because something is traditional doesn't mean it's acceptable.
It took me a while to see just how insidious little things like this are, too. It's ok to take some time to understand. Just please switch terms while you do.
@danhunsaker Light is reassuring darkness are freighting.
That's why black and white are connoted, and that's ok.
«Black people» are not really black, and «white people» are not white either.
«People of the world, relax»
