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 Jewlisted is fine. Torylisted or Boris****WitListed is good.

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostTo 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, 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"

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me quite a while to get out of the habit of using the term blacklist but then I'm old so probably use far too many out of date words for this one to matter.
