I already wrote when there was a discussion about it that changing this is
a
waste of time and effort.
"Blacklist" and "whitelist" terms never had anything to do with black/white
race. Their source is completely different (it's obvious for everyone who
has basic cultural and philosophical education), and probably nobody in the
world associates it with any racial context, except some oversensitive
group
of Americans.
however, the "allow" and "deny" clearly say something, while for
understanding what does "white" and "black" mean, you must have some
background (or, worse, prejudice).
To undestand any language you must have a background. Deny is a very rude
word. Whitelist and blacklist have very definite meaning, which have
nothing to do with race. All our experience and interactions are based on
prejudice. What's your point?
