You cannot use the word 'black' anymore for any connotation that is considered negative. The liberal woke twats will accept anythng to do with the Tory Party or anything anti-semitic

So Israellisted is fine. Torylisted or Boris****WitListed is good.

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.

WHS, if other terms are already around we can use.

That said, I wonder if the brave sysadmins/techies retroactively changing this will have to be treated for PTSD after being exposed to such foul terms, in the same way as those whose work involves watching child porn.
You heard it here first.

More likely, we'll find huge amounts of racist code comments "//fixing Bob's stinky curry code"

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

It's a racial statement, not a racist statement.

It looks like some people are triggered by others being triggered.

It does, doesn't it.

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

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take me quite a while to get out of the habit of using the term blacklist but then I'm old so probably use far too many out of date words for this one to matter.

So you are triggered then?

Indeed. Taken the time to read it, feel strong enough to post it on here and respond looks like being triggered to me.

If this triggers you, don't engage with Twitter
