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 I've used "denylist", is "blocklist" better? May not matter that much. I prefer ACLs that are comprehensive instead of two separate allow/deny lists anyway.
@cj Deny works, too, AFAIK. I thought about listing multiple alternatives, but opted instead to keep the message simple.
