The practice of systematic erasure of language regresses to human
ideas. Language policing has inertia and a kind of gravity that starts
removing tangential-but-uncontroversial ideas as a byproduct; dangerous
and anti-human! Appropriate usage of the term "Black" is not racist.

In Object Oriented Programming nomenclature, Blacklist and Master/Slave

Wouldn't it be better to get rid of the actual master databases and
slave databases? Regardless of what they're called, there is still
subservience represented inherently.
In all seriousness, racial tensions can be manufactured when no racism
actually exists. There is no racism inherent in t
Why does this agitate people? Because if the time spend on this change
had been used to fix an actual deficiency, people of color who use the
software would have been served with value, not just platitudes.

The link is in your mind (not mine) and certainly not in non-sentient
software code. Scrubbing language only serves to define and sharpen the
distinction in your mind (not mine) and confuse historical development

If we were to change the nomenclature to something like "disallowed" and
"allowed", should we not consider the class of disallowed out there to
be inherently persecuted? Are we looking at choosing variable names
with no corresponding representation in the dictionary (just in case)?

That's it. That's the thing. I suppose if it was my code and I wanted
to make that change other folks could go take a hike.
So, whose code is it?

This is an untrue generalization. It's not racist, but is it bigoted?
If anything, Americans are presently too sensitive to this issue and are
being pressed into making bad short sighted reactive policies.

Kudos to you Mauricio (great name, btw :)
If we are changing variable names to fight racism, since racism is not
clearly defined and may not exist, we may be making code changes to
fight something that doesn't exist.
"Race" - doesn't exist. You can't point to it?

Delete me for that and I will delete postfix.
Devolopment of the capability to delete individuals with whom you

I do not have nearly your footprint or users, but I do setup
DKIM/SPF/DMARC by default. Also, google has an escalation process for
