Not any longer according to twatter. So is Lewis's new black paint job a racist statement? Is it cos it's black? Perhaps the BBC needs to go back through old Dr Who episodes and clean up the master thing

Never used Twitter and it doesn't trigger me. just amused by the stupid lengths these businesses are going to to prove they're woke
To be fair I don't really have a problem with this. As tech changes new names and references come in all the time. We've gone from servers to resources/CI's etc and many other examples so don't see why a couple of other word changes will harm anyone. Yeah I think it's a bit daft as I'm sure absolutely no one sees them as a reference to racism but hey, if it's as simple as a new, and possibly better word, then go for it.
That said part of my work is the Barracudas so it's going to take me quite a while to get out of the habit of using the term blacklist but then I'm old so probably use far too many out of date words for this one to matter.
