    What are everyone's thoughts on blacklist / whitelist/ redlining / master / slave all being removed from Tech Culture and replaced with more appropriate meanings?

    NO POLITICAL SLUURS (i.E. "snowflake", "stupid liberals", etc.)

    Let's try and keep this as civil as possible

    Blacklist = Ignore, Void, Reject
    Whitelist = Regard, Success, Notice?

    Slave = Retainer?
    Master = Ace, Main, Top?



    No idea is this post is spam, but I wanted to give a serious answer. I know some of these terms are used in programming, but in general, as a rename those are the most fitting ones I could come up with.

    These are just pretty awful. There are actually good, proper alternative terms available here:

    https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-knod....section.1.1.1

    These are just as good as—if not better than—the original words and also carry no negative connotations or racial baggage.

    Calm down, I was just coming up with some random words on the spot.

    My suggestions:

    Master = Dom
    Slave = Sub

    Blacklist - Fire cape
    Whitelist - Redlist

    Redlining - Eyelining

    This is where we are at in context; especially with discussions like this actually being had.
